The World's First Sparkplug Aware MQTT Server

Cirrus Link Solutions patented Chariot v2 MQTT Server software that is the first MQTT Server that is Sparkplug aware giving a complete MQTT network oversight. Chariot V2 is of course an OASyS MQTT 3.1.1 compliant server. MQTT is the standard messaging protocol for industrial applications needing to share IIoT data from operations (OT) to IT. Sparkplug defines a topic namespace, payload definition and state management needed for real time mission critical applications. Coupling MQTT with the Sparkplug gives complete Digital Transformation for interoperability and 100% data self-discovery. Chariot is the only MQTT Server that understands the Sparkplug structure and can add additional features to create a rich MQTT ecosystem with system insight and overview.

The Chariot MQTT Server runs as a Java application on any operating system that supports Java. This enables it to be run on premise or in the cloud for high availability applications. Features include:

• Web Based Administration
• Runs on Java, can be transported across any platform
• TLS Security
• Username/Password Authentication
• Access Control Lists (ACLs) user authentication
• Can be used as a MQTT server (MQTT broker) in any SCADA system

Chariot has several unique features that utilize the Sparkplug 3.0 technology to provide better network oversight:

• Detect and report collisions between duplicate Sparkplug Group and Edge Node ID collisions across multiple MQTT clients
• Internal tracking and reporting of Sparkplug specific data flowing through the MQTT Server
• Tracking and reporting of all online/offline Edge Nodes and 'primary host' applications (birth counts, death counts, STATE messages, and timing)
• Tracking and reporting of Edge Nodes that are going offline often
• Compression sampling to see if it is a good idea or not
• Tracking of Edge Nodes that are not subscribing on primary host ID and possibly should be
• Tracking of long keep alive timeout configurations and potential misconfigurations of MQTT LWT in the context of Sparkplug applications
• ACL configuration based on Sparkplug topic tokens
