If a connection to a broker already exists, disconnect it now by moving the activation switch to the left.
Then click on the round pencil icon and enter the address of the MQTT broker and the access data for the
previously created user account of the GRIPLINK controller on the broker.
The "Custom Device Alias" is an alphanumeric string that you can use to describe your application in a mean-
ingful way, e.g. "Assembly cell" or "MT007". The alias is inserted into the published MQTT data and is used
for its unique assignment.
Test the entered address and access data by activating the MQTT service.
The "Custom Device Alias" must be unique in the network, otherwise there is a risk that data
from different GRIPLINK controllers will be mixed up.
Always assign a unique custom device alias for your GRIPLINK controller and transfer this if
you need to replace the GRIPLINK controller. This way, the MQTT paths always retain their va-
lidity.
