Connect to AWS iot

I want to send topics from PLCnext to AWS iot using MQTT connection. What are the ways?

  • Hello,

    One way is to use the AWS IOT Client app in the PLCnext Store.

    This assumes that you are familiar with the process of creating IOT devices in AWS, including (for example) checking the validity of your AWS certificates using openssl on the command line of the PLC.

    If you would like to roll your own MQTT client, you can use open-source MQTT Client software (e.g. from Paho) to build your own client application, which is what we did in our MQTT Client project. But this requires at least intermediate C++ programming skills.

    Hope this helps!

    Martin.
