Product Description
Connect Serial ASCII Devices to MQTT
The 460AQT connects serial ASCII devices with up to three connections, including AWS, Azure and MQTT.
Best of all, the product is made in the USA, always in stock, and comes with 5-year warranty.
How Do I Use the 460AQT in My Application?
Data elements inside ASCII strings are parsed and presented as topics to an MQTT broker. Conversely topics in an MQTT broker can be subscribed to and the values can be concatenated into an ASCII string.
If your ASCII device uses delimiters, the gateway can be configured to automatically remove the delimiters on incoming messages and add delimiters back in on outgoing messages.
Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
While there are certainly other companies offering protocol gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.
When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24-hour wait.
