Topics covered in this chapter
♦ MQTT Requirements

MQTT is a publish-subscribe-based "lightweight" messaging protocol for use on top of the TCP/IP protocol
driver installation.

Description
MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) driver installation is an extremely simple and lightweight messaging proto-
col. Its publish/subscribe architecture is designed to be open and easy to implement, with up to thousands
of remote clients capable of being supported by a single server.

Publish/Subscribe
The MQTT protocol is based on the principle of publish and subscribe the patterns. Multiple clients connect
to a broker and subscribe to topics that they are interested in. Clients also connect to the broker and publish
messages to topics. It restricts one subscriber to one topic.

Client
In this documentation, the term the client refers to the MQTT client. That is, either a Publisher or a Subscrib-
er. The MQTT client can be both a publisher and subscriber at the same time. An MQTT client is any device
from a micro controller up to a full fledged server, that has an MQTT library running and is connecting to an
MQTT broker over any type of network. The Niagara solution for MQTT uses only the client, and not the
broker. Datatypes supported by the client are Boolean, String, Numeric and Enum.

Broke r
You may install an applicable broker. Depending on the actual implementation, a broker may handle many
concurrently connected MQTT clients. The broker is primarily responsible for :
• Receiving all messages
• Filtering them
• Deciding who is interested in it
• Sending the message to respective subscribed clients.
Another responsibility of the broker is the authentication and authorization of clients. Most of the times a
broker is also extensible, which allows you to easily integrate custom authentication, authorization and inte-
gration into back-end systems. Integration is an especially important aspect because often the broker is the
component which is directly exposed on the Internet and handles a lot of clients and then passes messages
along to downstream analyzing and processing systems. The Niagara MQTT client supports One way SSL
connection. Whenever a client tries to connect with a broker using a login credentials, it is done over SSL.

MQT T R eq ui rem en ts
This topic describes the licensing and software requirements for using the Niagara Abstract MQTT Driver.

L i c e n s e R e q u i re m e n t s
The abstract Mqtt driver module is a licensed feature. You can check to see if your software installation is li-
censed for Mqtt by opening the license file from the License Manager view. The feature name is present only
if your platform is licensed for Mqtt.

Step 1 Double-click the AbstractMqttDriverNetwork. The M q t t C l i e n t D r i v e r D e v i c e M a n a g e r view ap-

pears in the view pane.
Step 2 Go to the a b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r palette.
Step 3 Select the A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e from the a b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r palette and copy-and-paste
(or drag and drop) the A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e under the AbstractMqttDriverNetwork or the
M q t t C l i e n t D r i v e r D e v i c e M a n a g e r view. The N a m e dialog box appears.

Step 4 Name the A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e , as desired and click the O K button.

AbstractMqttDriverDevice configuration
You place an A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e objects under the AbstractMqttDriverNetwork to represent ac-
tual Abstract Mqtt Driver Devices that you want to communicate with the broker. You can configure the A b -
s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e object by setting its properties to match the settings for the broker.
By selecting the P ro p e r t y S h e e t view of the A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e object, you can view and config-
ure the following A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e properties that apply to the entire network. In one network,
you can add multiple devices which are connected to the different brokers.
N O T E : If the A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e is connected to the broker and there is network issue like net-
work outage, network connectivity problem or broker issue then the device will be disconnected, however it
will keep on retrying until the device is connected. In this case, if the device has to connect again using differ-
ent parameter, user has to disconnect (by selecting the disconnect action) enter the new connection parame-
ters then connect. This will make new connection with the broker.

A description of the A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e specific properties follows (displayed in the P ro p e r t y

S h e e t view).

Actions
The A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e object has three visible actions that are available when you right-click on
the device property or device node in the N a v tree:
• Ping
This action manually initiates a “ping” (check device status) on the actual A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e .
• Connect
This action establishes a connection with the broker.
• Disconnect
This action waits for the Abstract MQTT client to finish any work and for or the TCP/IP session to
disconnect.
N O T E : For the Connect and Disconnect actions to work, the Ip address, Client ID, and port number of the
broker must be entered. Also the Username and Password must be entered, if the Connection Type prop-
erty is set to User Login Over SSL.

Chapter 2 Setup an AbstractMqttDriverNetwork Abstract MQTT Driver Guide

Clean Session
A persistent session can be requested by the client on connection establishment with the broker. The client
can control whether or not the broker stores the session by using the Clean Session flag. If the clean session
is set to true then the client does not have a persistent session and all information is lost when the client
disconnects for any reason. When clean session is set to false, a persistent session is created and it will be
preserved until the client requests a clean session again. If there is already a session available then it is used
and queued messages will be delivered to the client if available.

Enable L W T
When a client connects to the server this property can define a topic and a message that needs to be pub-
lished automatically when an ungraceful disconnection occurs.

Topic For L W T
This is a topic where a message for Last will and testament (L W T) will be available.

Qos For L W T
MQTT defines three levels of Quality of Service (Qos). The QoS defines how hard the broker/client will try to
ensure that a message is received. Messages may be sent at any Qos level, and clients may attempt to sub-
scribe to topics at any Qos level. The three levels are:
• 0: The broker/client will deliver the message once, with no confirmation
• 1: The broker/client will deliver the message at least once, with confirmation required
• 2: The broker/client will deliver the message exactly once by using a four step handshake.

Retained For L W T
Set this property to true to determine if the message will be saved by the broker for the specified topic as
last known good value. This is useful for newly connected subscribers to receive the last retained message
on that topic immediately after subscribing. This is extremely helpful for status updates of components or
devices on individual topics.

Message For L W T
This property shows the message for L W T when an unexpected disconnect occurs.

Keep Alive
The value of this property specifies an interval for the longest possible period of time that a broker - client
connection can exist without sending a message. The broker must disconnect a client, which doesn’t send a
PINGREQ or any other message in user’s specified time of the Keep Alive. This provides Abstract MQTT with
a work-around to the issue of half-open connection. The keep alive functionality assures that the connection
is still open and both broker and client are connected to one another. The client specifies a time interval in
seconds and communicates it to the broker during the establishment of the connection. The interval is the
longest possible period of time, which the broker and client can endure without sending a message.
• The client should ensure that the interval between Control Packets being sent does not exceed the Keep
Alive value.
• In the absence of sending any other Control Packets, the client must send a PINGREQ Packet.
• As long as messages are exchanged frequently and the keep alive interval is not exceeded, there is no
need to send an extra message to ensure that the connection is still open.
• If the client doesn’t send any messages during the period of the keep alive it must send a PINGREQ pack-
et to the broker to confirm its availability and also make sure the broker is still available.
• The broker must disconnect a client, which doesn’t send PINGREQ or any other message in user’s speci-
fied time of the Keep Alive.

12 March 21, 2018

Abstract MQTT Driver Guide Chapter 2 Setup an AbstractMqttDriverNetwork

• Also, the client should close the connection if the response from the broker isn’t received in a reasonable
amount of time.
• After receiving a PINGREQ the broker must reply with a PINGRESP packet to indicate its availability to
the client. Similar to the PINGREQ the packet doesn’t contain any payload.
• If the broker doesn’t receive a PINGREQ or any other packet from a particular client, it will close the con-
nection and send out the last will and testament message.
• If the keep alive interval is set to 0, the keep alive mechanism is deactivated.

Connection Timeout
This property specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response after sending the re-
quest to the broker.

B ro k e r I p A d d re s s
This property specifies the Ip address of the broker. If the broker is installed on the same platform, the de-
fault Broker Ip Address is 127.0.0.1. If the broker is installed in some other platform, the platform Ip
address must be entered in the B r o k e r I p A d d re s s field.

Broke r Por t
This property specifies the port number of the broker.

Client I D
The Abstract MQTT protocol defines a “client identifier” that uniquely identifies a client in a network. In sim-
ple terms, when connecting to a server a client needs to specify a unique string that is not used currently
and will not be used by any other client that will connect to the server. If the two devices are connected with
same ID, the Status sets to down and fault message occurs in the F a u l t C a u s e field. Two clients can not
have same client ID, but it is possible if they are connecting from the different stations. In this case the be-
havior of both the clients will not be as expected and there will be issues in communication between the cli-
ent and broker.

Status Message
This property shows whether the broker is connected or disconnected to the client.

C o n n e c t i o n Ty p e
• Anonymous
Select this property to establish an anonymous connection with the broker. The connection type Anony-
mous is non secure, choosing the Anonymous user authentication mode will generate a warning message
on the security risk involved. User or administrator has to agree the warning message and the same will
be logged in the Niagara system for audit purpose.
• Anonymous Over SSL
The connection is established over SSL, using one-way SSL, where the broker is required to be configured
with certificates and keys. Though the connection over SSL is secure, the connection type anonymous is
non secure, choosing the Anonymous user authentication mode will generate a warning message on the
security risk involved. User or administrator has to agree the warning message and the same will be
logged in the Niagara system for audit purpose.
• User Login Over SSL
This property requires login credentials. You must enter the username and password for the broker if you
select this property. In Niagara the default and recommended connection type will be User Login Over
SSL.

U s e r n a m e A n d P a s s w o rd
• Username: This property is used when connecting to the broker (User Login Over SSL connection). This
may or may not be required depending on the broker.
• Password: This property is used when connecting to the broker (User Login Over SSL connection). This
may or may not be required depending on the broker.

Send Enum As
Set this property value to TAG or ORDINAL. This property is configured at A b s t r a c t M q t t D r i v e r D e v i c e . As
per this property’s value, the enum publish or subscribe points sends or receives the data. All the enum pub-
lish or subscribe points of the device use this property to publish or subscribe data to/from the respective
topic.

Publishing data using Mqtt

To publish data to the broker, you need to link a data point output value to an Mqtt Publish Point of the
proper data type. This procedure describes how to link from a data point to an MqttNumericPublishPoint.
The procedure for publishing the boolean, string or enum data point is the same except that you use the
MqttBooleanPublishPoint, MqttStringPublishPoint or MqttEnumPublishPoint component to publish boolean,
string or enum data respectively.
P re re q u i s i t e s :
• Desired data point is available in a Workbench view through any valid network connection.
Step 1 Right-click on the P o i n t s node and select V i e w s → W i r e S h e e t . The W i re S h e e t view displays.
