• Certificates: Browse to certificate files

Subscribe to Topics

1. Go to Device → Nodes
2. Go to Devices → Nodes
3. Create subscription node:
   1. Name: IoT_Sensors
   Channel
   1. Open PrimaryStation and configure: MQTTClient
      1. Subscribe Topic: sensors/+/temperature
      2. QoS: 1

      The '+' wildcard subscribes to all sensors.

      Create Points for Subscribed Data
      1. 1. BrokerURL: 127.0.0.1
         2. Port: 502
         3. ClientID: FrameworX

      Create Points

      1. Navigate to Devices → Points
      2. Add points for each expected topic:

      Temperature Tank 1 Sensor:

      • Name: Sensor1_TagName: TankFarm/Tank1/Temp
      • Node: IoT_Sensors
      • Topic: sensorsTankFarm/sensor1Tank1/temperature
      • Data Type: Double
      • JSON Path: $.value (if JSON payload)
      • AccessType: Read

      Temperature Tank 2 Humidity Sensor:

      • Name: Sensor1_Humidity TankFarm/Tank2/Temp
      • Node: IoT_Sensors
      • Topic: sensorsTankFarm/sensor1Tank2/humiditytemperature
      • Data Type: Double

      Publish Tag Values

   2. Create publish Device Channel and Node:
      • Protocol: MQTT Publisher 
      • Name: SCADA_Publisher
      • Publish Mode: On Change
   Configure published points:
   3. Tag: Select tag to publish
   4. Topic: scada/line1/production
   5. QoS: 1
   Retain: True (optional)
   • AccessType: Read
