MQTT Made Easy with a Banner DXM Controller
Learn how easy Banner Engineering’s DXM industrial controllers make capturing and publishing equipment data with Sparkplug B at the edge of an MQTT system.
MQTT Made Easy
Banner’s DXM industrial controllers collect device data and publish it to an MQTT broker, with native Sparkplug B support that subscribing applications can immediately use.
Data Capture and Publishing Simplified
Banner’s DXM Industrial Controllers make it easy to capture equipment data and publish it using MQTT Sparkplug B. With native Sparkplug B support, store-and-forward capability, and secure outbound MQTT communication, a DXM reads machine data and publishes directly to an MQTT broker so that the data can be used by SCADA systems, historians, or cloud services—without additional gateways or software layers.
SCADA-Ready Data Published from the Edge using Sparkplug B
DXM controllers provide native Sparkplug B support for MQTT publishing. Sparkplug B defines how device data is published and updated, including metric names, data types, and device online/offline state. Paired with a SCADA system such as Ignition, that structure drives automatic tag creation, with values updating as they change and device online/offline status clearly visible, delivering live device data without manual tag creation.
For example, an S24 Dew Point Sensor paired with a DXMR90-X1E provides a short path from temperature and humidity changes in a compressed air system to awareness of those changes. The sensor reports its values to the DXM, which publishes them to the MQTT broker using Sparkplug B. As conditions change, new metrics are published and made available to subscribers such as Ignition or other SCADA platforms.
Data Preservation with Built-In Store & Forward
DXM controllers include built-in store-and-forward buffering for MQTT data. When network or broker connectivity is interrupted, data continues to be collected and retained locally. When connectivity is restored, buffered data is published to the MQTT broker, preserving a complete record of device data collected during the interruption.
Data Definition and Mapping with DXM Configuration Software
How to Set Up a Banner DXM with MQTT Sparkplug B and View Data From Ignition®
Banner’s free DXM Configuration Software provides a single environment for defining device data, data flow, and MQTT Sparkplug B publishing on a DXM. Machine signals are mapped into local registers and Sparkplug metrics, publishing behavior and update behavior are defined, and MQTT connection, security, and store-and-forward settings are configured directly on the device.
