Setup a test system with Ignition Primary Host ^{co⚡e: Sparkplug™ MQTT edge and host home (WikiPage)}
@hermsen @i-campbell Setup a test system with Ignition Primary Host Information and guides Sparkplug™ information | Preview how-to | Setup a test system with Ignition Primary Host | Add SparkplugB to an existing CODESYS project This page Introduction | Installation Introduction This is a recipe to setup a free test system for use with Sparkplug for CODESYS with an Ignition Primary Host. If you follow this recipe closely it "should" take you between 1 or 2 hours, depending on your experience. Need any help? -> Drop us a question below, we are happy to assist you. On choosing your Ignition SCADA Flavor It's up to you to decide which flavor of Ignition you wish to run as they are identical but differ in use-case scenario. The provided information is not intended as advertisement but merely to provide you with enough information for you to make a choice on what installation is best suited for you. Maker Edition Ignition Maker Edition has powerful industrial-grade features of Ignition Enterprise by Inductive Automation️® to any number of your personal or educational projects at no cost. All you need is a permanent internet connection for it to work (so called 'always connected'). This seems for most purposes the optimal choice. https://inductiveautomation.com/ignition/maker-edition for more information Enterprise Edition This is the full fledged version of Ignition Enterprise SCADA. Without proper licensing it runs in a DEMO trial period for 2 hours. The trialperiod can be extended an unlimited amount of times by a single push of a button. https://inductiveautomation.com/ignition/ for more information Required Software Components Host software Windows 10 https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 WinSCP https://winscp.net/eng/download.php for copying files over from your local Windows 10 Machine (Host) to your Virtual Box Debian client CODESYS Development System V3 https://store.codesys.com/codesys.html CODESYS Control Win 64 CODESYS Gateway 64 CODESYS IIoT Libraries SL https://store.codesys.com/iiot-libraries-sl.html IEC SparkplugB library https://forge.codesys.com/prj/mqttsparkplugb/home/Home/#download IEC SparkplugB example project https://forge.codesys.com/prj/mqttsparkplugb/home/Home/#download MQTT.fx (optional) https://mqttfx.jensd.de/ Oracle VM VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Client Software Debian 10 https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/ Mosquitto server (apt install mosquitto) Ignition https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition MQTT Engine https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/third-party-modules/8.0.16 Installation This guide assumes you have Windows 10 and WinSCP already installed on a PC. Feel free to deviate in any way from this guide. Download the latest version of all the components listed above: With the CODESYS Development System V3 installer, CODESYS Control Win 64 and CODESYS Gateway 64 are also installed. Once CODESYS Development System is installed, double click the IIoT Libraries SL package to install it. This has a 30 minute demo, which is reset when you restart the PLC. Install mqtt.fx. This is an MQTT client, which also has a SparkplugB decoder. Handy for debugging. Install VirtualBox. Installing Debian Install Debian: Open Virtual Box Press File > Host Network Manager > Create. Then tick the DHCP Server Enable box. Then Apply > Close Press New, give it a name, and operating system Linux / Debian (64-bit). Press Next. Use recommended memory size, but more the merrier. Select “Create a virtual hard disk now”, Press “Create”, select the default hard disk file type, dynamically allocated. As it is dynamically allocated, make it as big as you want, say 50GB. You should now be back to the main VirtualBox window. Click Settings for the newly created VM. Under storage, select the empty CD drive, then the tiny blue CD next to Attributes > Optical Drive. Choose the option “Choose a disk File”. Choose the debian iso. Under Network, leave Adapter 1 as NAT. Add Adapter 2 as host only network adapter. Press OK to accept the settings. Press start to start your VM. If asked, hit “Start” on the start-up disk selection dialog The Debian installer opens. Select “Graphical install”… choose appropriate languages… choose the first network in the list Choose a useful hostname, maybe debian10-ignition-mosquitto Skip the domain name by leaving it blank Choose a top secret root password, that you can remember. Failing to remember means repeating all these steps again. Choose a useful full name, and then username. Don’t forget the username. Partitioning method: Guided – use entire disk … All files in one partition … Answer Yes to “Write the changes to disks?” Go get a coffee, or other 15minute task, while it installs… Choose the default package manager options. Choose whether to opt in to statistic gathering. Untick the desktop environment, unless you like that stuff. Untick print server. Tick SSH and standard system utilities. You could probably squeeze in another coffee at this point. Yes install to master boot record. Install to VBOX_HARDDISK Boom! You now have a Debian installation in a VM! Type the username and password you remembered from earlier to get to the terminal Update debian, install mosquitto and get the ip address If you are not logged in yet to your linux VM, login. su type your root password apt update apt full-upgrade apt install mosquitto //note that mosquit[t]o is misspelled, because they wanted to have two ‘t’s like MQTT does. nano /etc/network/interfaces now copy the lines for enp0s3 and duplicate for enp0s8, and change allow-hotplug to auto Press Ctrl+X to exit and Y to save. Press Enter to accept original file location. systemctl restart networking ip addr show enp0s8 take a note of the ip address, you will need this! Install Ignition Use scp from a windows command prompt to copy the installer to your linux box WindowsKey+R, type “cmd”, enter Use an scp command similar to: scp C:\Ian\install\ignition-8.0.16-linux-x64-installer.run user@192.168.56.103:ignition-install.run scp C:\Ian\install\MQTT-Engine-signed.modl user@192.168.56.103:MQTT-Engine-signed.modl Login to linux. su chmod +x ignition-install.run /sbin/useradd ignition ./ignition-install.run Give the user you added above (ignition) Default install location Press 2 for custom install Press y for modifying included modules Press n for every one of the default modules, except maybe OPC-UA and Vision. Press y for modify additional modules, then press y for install additional modules. The path is: /home/user/MQTT-Engine-signed.modl Type n for “Would you like to install additional modules?” Type y for “Are you finished modifying the modules?” Type y for “do you want to continue?” Type y for “Start Ignition now” Type y for “Install Service” Back in Windows, open a browser and navigate to http://ip-address:8088 Pick any flavour you like (Maker Edition has no time-out) Agree the terms Set up a memorable username and password Start Gateway: Once it starts, go to Config > System > Modules > Quarantined Modules > MQTT Engine > Install You now have an Ignition server with MQTT Engine installed. You did it! Running an application Start MQTT.fx to monitor the topics: If not already started, start your Debian10-ignition-mosquitto. No Need to login to linux. Launch MQTT.fx from Start menu or C:\Program Files\mqttfx\mqttfx.exe Press the gear to add your MQTT Server Press the + down the bottom to add a new Server Give it a profile name, the IP address of your mqtt server, generate a client ID, then press OK Press Connect Go to the subscribe tab, and subscribe to the following topics: spBv1.0/SparkplugBDevice/NBIRTH/+ spBv1.0/SparkplugBDevice/NDEATH/+ spBv1.0/SparkplugBDevice/NDATA/+ spBv1.0/SparkplugBDevice/NCMD/+ STATE/+ Switch the payload decoded by to Sparkplug Decoder Start Ignition, to wait for connections: If not already started, start your Debian10-ignition-mosquitto. No Need to login to linux. By default, Ignition MQTT Engine will automatically connect to the local MQTT Server, so this does not need setup. If you need to set it up, use http://ip-address:8088 > Login > Config > MQTT Engine > Servers > Create new or edit. The easiest way to browse tags is through designer. Login to http://ip-address:8088 then press the Get Designer button to download the installer. Once installed launch designer. If your Gateway isn’t there, Add Gateway > Manually Add Gateway and type in http://ip-address:8088 before pressing “Add Gateway”. You should now see the Gateway, click Launch to launch designer. Login. Create a new project Use the defaults, but give it a name and title. Looking at the tag browser, you should currently see no sparkplug nodes. Install the sparkplug library: Now go back to the folder where you downloaded everything. Double click the sparkplug library to open it. Press the filing cabinet icon “Save Project and Install into Library Repository” Configure the example project for your CODESYS runtime: Back to the folder where you downloaded everything. Double click the sparkplug example project to open it. These steps are CODESYS 101. You should do this for every example project you open: Cancel the initial dialog asking about updating compiler etc. Right click Device in the Devices view, And select “Update Device” Select the actual version of your PLC runtime and hit “Update Device”, wait for it do its thing, then hit “Close” Project > Project Environment > Set All to Newest > OK > OK If your PLC is not running, start it now from the system tray. If you haven’t purchased a license, the PLC will stop after 2 hours, and the CODESYS MQTT Client SL will stop working after 30 minutes. If this happens you will have to stop it and start it again. Double Click the Device in Devices Tree, and go to the communication Settings Screen. Scan your local Gateway, and double click your local PLC. (ProTip: If you want this much nicer view, Tools > Options > Device editor > Communication page > Classic mode) Open PRG_FB_EoN_Node, and change the server URL to the ip address of your MQTT server. As this is a private Mosquitto, we will change test scenario to 2 as well. Go Online with this icon: Yes: Hit F5 or press the play icon to run the application: After a few seconds you should see it ONLINE: Now let’s look at the log. Double click the Device in the device tree and go to the Log tab. If you do not have a license for the runtime or you do not have a license for the CODESYS IIoT Libraries SL, sou should see these messages: To access the sparkplug specific logs, press these buttons and select SparkplugB: You can change the verbosity of the logs with the verbosity param. Go Offline and open library manager, and browse through Sparkplug B MQTT > SparkplugB > GlobalVariables > GVL_Param_sparkplugB. Is everything working? Check in MQTT.fx, you should have some payloads: Check in Ignition Designer, you should have some new tags in tag browser, changing every 5 seconds (configurable): For more information on using CODESYS, go to help.codesys.com and forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/ For more information on using Ignition, go to inductiveuniversity.com and forum.inductiveautomation.com Need help? -> Drop us a question, we are happy to assist you.

@hermsen @i-campbell co⚡e: Sparkplug™ MQTT edge and host Information and guides Sparkplug™ information | Preview how-to | Setup a test system with Ignition Primary Host | Add SparkplugB to an existing CODESYS project This page Introduction | Prerequisites | Step1 | Step2 | Step3 | Step4 | Step5 Introduction This is a primer to get you started with the preview example as provided here which demonstrates our fully Sparkplug™ compatible Edge, Device and Primary Host. Still need help? -> Drop us a question below, we are happy to assist you. Prerequisites Your controller and development environment should meet the following requirements: [questions:#6] This primer assumes you have library and project file saved on disk and you have CODESYS Development System V3, CODESYS Control Win x64 and CODESYS Gateway x64 installed. Any other CODESYS compatible IDE should work as long as the system meets the minimal requirements. Step1 Open the co⚡e.library, Be sure to skip the "Set All To Newest" and press OK Step2 Press F11 or open the "Build" menu and select "Check All Pool Object" to verify the correctness of the library. Errors are not checked by saving the library into the repository, so this is quite important. Any errors will show in the messages pane under "Build" but if all goes well it should show the following; If you experience errors, go to step 3, otherwise go to to step 4. Step3 Some tips on resolving Errors Download any unresolved (missing) libraries Open the library manager and if the button is shown, press it. The IDE will automagically download all missing libraries and install them in your library repository. Set correct placeholders Sometimes it could happen that some libraries are referenced that are not installed and/or not downloaded. In this case you can "force" a library reference. Select the library reference that you want to force and select the version you wish to use from the pull-down menu. Step4 Press save and install the library to your repository like so: first press the disk, then press the archive cabinet. Step5 Open the preview project, download the three programs to the controller and be sure to run program three as first, and then run program 2 and or 1. Enjoy!
