Configure Sparkplug B

The MQTT adapter is compatible with Sparkplug B, an open-source standard that improves MQTT for industrial applications by defining consistent topic structures, payload formats, and device state handling. It defines a standardized topic namespace and Protobuf-encoded payloads, enabling structured, interoperable communication between edge devices and host systems.

Within the MQTT adapter, Sparkplug B support allows for seamless ingestion of device data, state messages, and commands using the spBv1.0 topic format. The adapter handles redundancy, failover, and duplicate filtering across multiple MQTT brokers, ensuring reliable data flow. It also simplifies configuration by supporting default topic mappings and selective data discovery.

This integration ensures reliable, interoperable communication between edge devices and enterprise systems such as AVEVA Data Hub or PI System.
