    Hi there, I am trying to get working Rapid Scada and Thingsboard together but without success 🙁
    At the moment, I did build KpMQTT.dll and did create a new comm line and communication file for MQTT but I can’t get the communicator working, maybe I am missing something about MQTT and this driver… I want to publish Rapid Scada data to Thingsboard server (i.e: collect some data using a Modbus device and replicate some channels data into new ones MQTT channels to publish this data to Thingsboard).

    These are my config files:
    ScadaCommSvcConfig.xml line

        <CommLine active="true" bind="true" number="6" name="MQTT">
          <CommChannel type="" />
          <LineParams>
            <Param name="ReqTriesCnt" value="3" descr="Device request retries count on error" />
            <Param name="CycleDelay" value="0" descr="Delay after request cycle, ms" />
            <Param name="CmdEnabled" value="true" descr="Commands enabled" />
            <Param name="ReqAfterCmd" value="false" descr="Request device after command" />
            <Param name="DetailedLog" value="true" descr="Write detailed information to the log" />
          </LineParams>
          <CustomParams />
          <ReqSequence>
            <KP active="true" bind="false" number="61" name="Test MQTT" dll="KpMQTT.dll" address="0" callNum="" timeout="0" delay="1000" time="00:00:00" period="00:00:00" cmdLine="KpMQTT_Config.xml" />
          </ReqSequence>
        </CommLine>

    KpMQTT_Config.xml file

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <DevTemplate>
      <MqttParams Hostname="127.0.0.1" ClientID="" Port="1883" UserName="" Password=""/>
      <RapSrvCnf ServerHost="127.0.0.1" ServerPort="10000" ServerUser="ScadaComm" ServerPwd="12345"/>
      <MqttPubTopics>
      	<Topic TopicName="/input/600" QosLevel="0" NumCnl="600" PubBehavior="OnChange" Retain="true" NDS="."/>
      	<Topic TopicName="/input/601" QosLevel="0" NumCnl="601" PubBehavior="OnChange" Retain="true" NDS="."/>
      </MqttPubTopics>
    </DevTemplate>

    Also, I did create the comm line, device and channels for MQTT on SCADA-Administrator but I cannot communicate both systems.
    Could anyone give me some advice about what am I doing wrong or what do I need to add please?
    I guess I am missing the channel mapping between Rapid Scada and Thingsboard device (telemetry data), also, I can`t figure out where to place the device ACCESS_TOKEN

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,

    Did you check the log of the communication line? Is there something useful?
    I recommend to contact the author of the MQTT driver. His email is shared on the GitHub page.

    Sorry for my late reply, ThingsBoard expect json formatted payload: https://github.com/kumajaya/scada-community/commit/a8a7bce35deb4c3f1e0ae604be3685b47d2e1027

    Example config, ACCESS_TOKEN as UserName:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <DevTemplate>
    	<MqttParams Hostname="127.0.0.1" ClientID="KpMQTTrs111" Port="1884" UserName="owMdAakfgOlUOUwF0mpB" Password=""/>

    Do you mean that the issue is fixed?

    The latest version of KpMqtt.dll is available at https://github.com/RapidScada/scada-community/releases

    Could you explain:
    1. What is Thingsboard?
    2. Why this device can not be polled as usual?

    From ThingsBoard’s FAQ https://thingsboard.io/docs/faq/#what-is-thingsboard :
    ThingsBoard is an open-source server-side platform that allows you to monitor and control your IoT devices. It is free for both personal and commercial usage and you can deploy it anywhere.

    I have found why my old binary more reliable maintain connection to ThingsBoard than the current version. Revert https://github.com/bersim/OpenKPs/commit/cbf039eccbbd17b1ae6b0c66dd4db04237b4969f restore reconnection feature.

    Yes, this is a significant bug.
    We plan to refactor the driver inside the https://github.com/RapidScada/scada-community repository.

    It’s good if you rebase it to upstream Strider Mqtt https://github.com/ericvoid/StriderMqtt I’m not that expert to rewrite a driver from scratch.

    Hello every one. I received the Json data feedback from thingsboard server as below
    Receive packet
    v1/devices/me/rpc/request/450 = {“method”:”setValue”,”params”:true}
    Now I want to get value of Attribute “method” and “params”. Can everyone help me. Thanks so much.

    Hi,

    You need to parse the response using JavaScript engine of the driver.
    kp_mqtt_5.0.4.0.zip contains KpMqtt_Job.js which can be used as example.
    But string values are not supported. Can you change method value to a number?
