Learn about PI Point Naming for MQTT Sparkplug

The Sparkplug specification requires the following topic structure:

namespace/group_id/message_type/node_id/[device_id] where the device_id is optional.

The connector creates PI points using the Sparkplug topic namespace. The PI points are named as follows:

Prefix Point.Connector Name.Data source name/namespace/group_id/node_id/[device_id]/name

For example, if a message is published to the topic:

spBv1.0/Edge Group/DDATA/Edge Node 1/Edge Device 1 for a tag with the name Test/Test Tag, a point is then created with the following name:

Prefix Point.Connector name.Data source name/spBV1.0/Edge Group/Edge Node 1/Edge Device 1/Test/Test Tag

Note: The Prefix Point can be customized using the PI Data Collection Manager
