EcoStruxure Machine Expert version 1.1 does not support the M258, LMC058 and LMC078 controllers.

Program Organization Units (POUs)

SR_MqttHandling

The program SR_MqttHandling implements the program code to control the MQTT client.

The program code has been split into single logical functions. The single program parts are processed in subroutines, referred to as actions.

The actions called from the program are listed in the following table:

Name of the subroutine (action)

Description

ACT_InputMapping

In this logic, the input variables, mainly coming from the visualization, are verified and assigned to local variables for further processing.

ACT_StateMachineMqttClient

This logic implements the state machine for the operation of the instance of the function block FB_MqttClient.

The general states are:

oInitialization of the function block

oEstablishing the connection to the server

oMonitoring the status of the connection

oDisconnecting

oError handling

ACT_StateMachinePublish

This logic implements the state machine for the operation of the instance of the function block FB_MqttPublish.

The general states are:

oInitialization of the function block

oPublishing of a message

oMonitoring the execution of the function block

ACT_CreateDataString

This logic implements the creation of the message to be published.

ACT_StateMachinePublish

This logic implements the state machine for the operation of the instance of the function block FB_MqttSubscribe.

The general states are:

oInitialization of the function block

oSubscribe to a topic

oMonitoring for incoming messages

oCopying new messages to the corresponding process variable

oMonitoring the status of the function block

ACT_OutputMapping

In this logic, the local variables are converted into the required format and then assigned to the associated output variables. The output variables are linked to the visualization.

SR_VisControl

The program SR_VisControl implements additional program code to control the displayed information on the visualization in the Logic Builder within the EcoStruxure Machine Expert software.

SR_SimulatedMachineData

The program SR_SimulatedMachineData implements the simulation of process values which will be converted into the JSON formatted string and then published via MQTT.
