abstractMqttDriver-AbstractMqttDriverNetwork

This component is the top-level container component for an AbstractMqttDriverNetwork in a station.

This component is located in the abstractMqttDriver palette. Like other drivers, you should install this component under the Drivers node of a station. The default view of this component is the Mqtt Client Driver Device Manager view where you can add new devices, remove or edit devices in a tabular layout.

PropertyValueDescription
Statusread-only
Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling.

{ok} indicates that the component is licensed and polling successfully.

{down} indicates that the last check was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property, or possibly loss of network connection.

{disabled} indicates that the Enable property is set to false.

{fault} indicates another problem. Refer to Fault Cause for more information.

Enabledtrue or false
Activates (true) and deactivates (false) use of the object (network, device, point, component, table, schedule, descriptor, etc.).
Fault Causeread-only
Indicates the reason why a system object (network, device, component, extension, etc.) is not working (in fault). This property is empty unless a fault exists.
Healthread-only
Reports the status of the network, device or component. This advisory information, including a time stamp, can help you recognize and troubleshoot problems but it provides no direct management controls.

The Niagara Drivers Guide documents the these properties.

Alarm source infoadditional properties
Contains a set of properties for configuring and routing alarms when this component is the alarm source.

For property descriptions, refer to the Niagara Alarms Guide

Monitoradditional properties
Configures a network's ping mechanism, which verifies network health. This includes verifying the health of all connected objects (typically, devices) by pinging each device at a repeated interval.

The Niagara Drivers Guide documents these properties.

Tuning Policiesadditional properties

Selects a network tuning policy by name. This policy defines stale time and minimum and maximum update times.

During polling, the system uses the tuning policy to evaluate both write requests and the acceptability (freshness) of read requests.

These properties are documented in the Niagara Drivers Guide.

Poll Scheduleradditional properties
Configures the frequency with which the driver polls points and devices.

“Poll Service properties” in the Niagara Drivers Guide documents these properties.
