  • Page 6: Terms

    TERMS Unless otherwise specified, this manual uses the following terms. Term Description Broker An MQTT server that mediates messages (MQTT broker) Engineering tool The product name of the software package for the MELSEC programmable controllers Message Data to be exchanged between the sender (publisher) and receiver (subscriber) Publish/Subscribe message exchange A protocol capable of one-to-many asynchronous communications.

  • Page 7: Key Features

    KEY FEATURES Publish: Sending information collected in the FX5 CPU module to the MQTT broker with the MQTT communication function, Subscribe: Subscribing the information from the MQTT broker MQTT is an OASIS-standard communication protocol using a publish/subscribe message exchange model. Once the FX5- ENET executes publishing to the MQTT broker, information is distributed to all the information receive devices that have executed the subscribe request.
