Would you like to turn your S7-1200 or S7-1500 into an MQTT client to integrate your OT with IT?
Check out this video that tells you how to do it!

Man really thanks for this video - it was really helpful - tested it and worked smooth :)
Great to hear!
Thank you very much for this tutorial!
You're very welcome!
Hello. Congrats for the video. But can you show how to configure everything when using TLS ? like port 8884. I am interested in how to configure certificates in tia portal so the client will work on a plc with the highest security level possible. Thanks
amazing. keep up the good work
sir, can u share ur mqtt_client library?
because in the website siemens is different with your
Me too I didn't find the same one , please if you get it could you send it to me?
Hi the library is not available any longer, its a new version with a different FB and Structure
I am facing this issue. Can you help me?
The interface of data type LMQTT_Client has been changed.
Dear thanks for your video, can you make a video how to send and receive data from s7 1500 plc to aws iot cloud.
Thanks in advance
I'm afraid I don't have access to AWS at the moment, but check the Siemens support page, you might find something helpful there
Very nice video ! thx ! I just wondering how to send multiple data (DB) in the same mqtt publishing message. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this great video, what if the subscription string is longer than 250 ? is it possible to add more subscription strings ?
This video was helpful. Have you worked to send series of data written in a DB(I have sensor values, and other field devices values in the Data blocks) through MQTT instead of just sending messages??
Hello sir! I have watched your video for couple of times but still having problem :( Is it possible for you to share your project file? Thank you for your time and effort 🙏🏻
Hi AutomationStation it is wonderful video. I have a question for the program. I did same thing but when I push MQTT enable and it is value true but Mqttestablished is not true also tcpestablished is not true they didn't change
Can you help me?
@AutomationStation Hi sir i have connect local server with broker successfully but cant see siemens PLC in mqtt explorer.And also in Lmqtt FB different library other than u only see LMQTT_typeConnParam this type in Data type.when i enable LMQTT client FB but it shows error code 16#8730 please help me
i used 1516-3 in this project but it can't connect ,please help me
Any tutorial for TIA Portal v18?
Good night, all right? Can you make the MQTT block available for download on any platform other than SIEMENS? because now they no longer provide only the block without configurations, it already comes with some. I'm doing TCC and needed it without any configuration, like yours.
Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial. I found it very helpful.
Have you had any success connecting directly to AWS IoT? The block seems to accept X.509 certificates.
I'm afraid we haven't tried that, but can't see any reasons why it wouldn't work.
Great, Thanks for Details, I tried for libraries but i couldn't find it, is it possible to share this project program? that would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance,
The project is still available here: support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109748872/
The libraries are now a part of LCom package: support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109780503/
Hi, thanks for your video, I am getting status ID error 3 ,once i enable MQTT data ,tcp and mqtt established remains zero,what must be the reason
wat about the global certification manger , as per siemens document we have to configure the certification .
Well that's a completely different topic. Of course if you're using TLS you'd set your certificates accordingly.
is it possible to publish data from your function block to the brocker while u receiving message from antoher topic on to your sps client at the same time ?
VERY COOL
Hi AutomationStation,
I have succesfully setup Mosquitto broker. Now I have this IoT Device(thermal temperature scanner) that when I setup it ask me two things:
1.) Url (I put here the ip address of the mosquitto broker and port).
2.) Company Id (Im not sure what to enter here. Should I enter here the service name of the Mosquitto broker which is mosquitto?)
Im not sure about the no. 2. I still cannot connect the device to mosquitto broker.
I hope you can enlighten me . Thanks a lot for this tutorial.
I have not come across Company ID before, but perhaps it could be referring to Client ID. According to the MQTT spec each Client should make itself known to the Broker using a unique Client ID. Perhaps try using a unique reference in this value and see if that works.
Thanks for this great video, very helpful to a MQTT newbie like me. The problem I have is that the newer LMQTT blocks on siemens website through the link have now changed and the datatype required is no longer a WSTRING and now requires an array of bytes. I am desperatly trying to send REAL datatypes as the message and cannot find any information how I can achieve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gary
Hi Gary, I would use S_CONV to convert my Real to a String and then a Strg_TO_Chars to output that String to the Array of Chars (you can feed it straight to the Array of Bytes that the new block requires as publishMsgPayload as in the memory Chars are represented as their ASCII codes so no conversion needed here). Strg_TO_Chars will also output you Cnt which will be your publishMsgLen. The pChars of Strg_TO_Chars tells the block from which element of the array to start writing the data so I'd go with 0 there.
Now the above behaves slightly different depending whether you use it in SCL or LAD. In LAD it will add spaces in front of the String but it should still be fine on the broker side. If you'd like more control over the output of the Real to String conversion you can use STRG_VAL.
Hope that helps
I might make a new video as looking through the block docs now it did change a fair bit although the principles stay the same.
@@AutomationStation Thank you for your help and advice. Sorry, for the delay, I have only just seen it as Ive started working on this project again. Your video really helps but the block library that your video is based on seems much easier than the new block as the older block you could just enter a string to send where the new block only sends bytes. im stuck at the moment with an error code of 8C05 on the comm settings so trying to sort this now :-) Really appreciate your help, thank you
@@AutomationStation worked miracles for me. thanks much
Hi,
Thanks for the video!
It looks like the lmqtt library for V16 is no longer on the Siemens website. The only options I have is to download the documentation or the example project. Do you know where I can download the library?
Yeah, it's now a part of this library: support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109780503/
@@AutomationStation there is version 3.0.0, do you have v2.2 like in you video.?
@@radoslawlisinski4394 I tested the new version some time ago and even though there are some small changes it all works pretty much the same.
Hello, great explanation.
But i'm getting a protocol error and it disconnects me from the broker. Does that have something to do with certificates? I didn't set a username/password.
Well if you're not using username and password make sure that your broker accepts that. As long as you're not using TLS the certificates shouldn't matter
Hi. Several days i tried to establish connection according to your video, but something goes wrong.
I cannot connect broker with my local ip of my PC. It says immediately Disconnected from server.
In your example ip ...42 - is it your PC ip address? If i use localhost like in your previous video - broker starts, but PLC can not reach.
When i start ENABLE bit i have status 7002 and BUSY and VALID (siemens updated library and FB) but after 20 sec it back error .
I opened port 1883 on my pc but cannot test it via command telnet - it turn error.
Any suggestion pls.
Have you had a deeper look into the TCON blocks status? The IP you provide here needs to be the IP of the broker.
Have you confirmed you can access your broker? I would try with another laptop running an MQTT client.
Its work on Tia v14 brother ?
Great Video. Any idea if I could get this library for TIA V14.
I don't think so. You could try copying the code over but some data types might not exist or not be supported
I think I've found it. Trying to configure it atm ( github.com/NguyenMinhKhanhBK/Siemens-MQTT-unsecured-library )
i hate how quickly these vids go completely out of date, they change so much

Can you upgrade the firmware and try again? Some of the instructions are not available in V4.2
i did the same your project, but tcpEstablished didn't change (still false). Could you help me ?
Make sure all the comms settings are correct. If tcp connection is not getting established it means that well the other end didnt respond to queries
Hello there, i have a question cause our customer recently asked us to not function as a client but be a server instead to them. Is that possible with this method?
I'm afraid a PLC cannot be an MQTT broker which is what you're after in this instance. I would suggest looking into setting up a broker on another device - maybe an Industrial Edge device or something like an IoT 2050 and then your PLC would be publishing/subscribing to it.
Dear Mihow thanks for the wonderful video.
I am having a little problem : i use a cpu s7-1200 and TIA PORTAL V16, i have installed at my pc mosquito broker and MQTT explorer and when i enable the FB "MQTT CLIENT" it becomes busy and valid for 15 secs and then returns error. Status error 16#8601. MQTT explorer says that is disconnected from server ?
I would be grateful if you could help me .
Thanks in advance
Don't have documentation handy at the moment but I'd suggest going into the block to see what 8601 means exactly. If it's a status inherited from one of the internal functions then you will be able to find the exact meaning in the documentation.
Is it connecting for a moment and then disconnecting or not connecting at all?
Lot of people reported strange behavior with latest versions of Mosquitto - might be worth checking an older one.
You mention Explorer saying it's disconnected - is it explorer that doesn't connect or are you checking system topics to see if the PLC is connecting?
If the explorer isn't connecting check my other video on how to setup the broker and what to look out for. Only if Explorer connects go on and try to connect from your PLC
I have installed mosquito as you demonstrated in your other video and mqtt explorer and tested it and is working fine, so mosquito and explorer are running. The library and consequently the FB Client that i am using has the below outputs :
valid
busy
done
error
etc
When i am enabling the FB, outputs "busy" and "valid" become TRUE for about 15 seconds and then error becomes TRUE and "valid" and "busy" become FALSE.
I am stuck for days , grateful if you could help.
Thanks
@@christianotsakonia5008 Check what you're getting in the diagnostics UDT it should point you to stateNumber which corresponds to a state of the state machine in the block and a subfunctionStatus which should point you to a status of the function that is failing.
@@AutomationStation Thanks for the guidance :
I see the following at the diagnostics outputs :
state number : 20
subfunction 16#0000_80C6
.................... ??
@@christianotsakonia5008 State 20 is the TCP connection.
If you then check the manual for TSEND_C it will tell you that 80C6 means: Network error: remote partner cannot be reached.
You need to double check your network and settings. Check if you can ping your PLC from the PC that has Mosquitto. Make sure they are in the same subnet. If you can ping the PLC I'd say that firewall is blocking it.
Hi, thank you for the good videos.
can I publish from the same laptop that I used as a broker? or should the broker and publisher be on separate devices??
You can use the same device, the broker shouldn't care. At least Mosquitto doesn't
thank you.
Hello I can't establish a connection with broker, is it possible using plcsim advanced? I can ping in the broker
Hi Igor, from my experience I'd say it's not possible I'm afraid. Didn't have time to look into why though. If you have some time you could open the block up and see if completely stripping security options from the code itself would help as in general PLC Sim Advanced supports Open User Communication but doesn't support the security options and certificates.
Hello AutomationStation,
How do I send messages with different topics?
Just change publishTopic that's part of the LMQTT_typePublishData at the input (publishData) of the LMQTT block.
Hi thanks
This video is really helpful but
When I make enable true
Than my any out put is not true
Can u help me please!!!!!
Are you receiving any hex value in the status word on the output side of the block?
@@AutomationStation thanks for reply
I not get any hex value in status word
I got status is 16#0000
@@girishtek On a rising edge of DONE or ERROR move the STATUS word to another word to evaluate. The Status word may be changing too quickly to monitor.
Hi, Can this be done using PLC Sim advanced 4.0. I keep getting an error 16#8601
Hi, pretty sure I checked it some time ago and it worked fine so just go through standard debugging
@@AutomationStation Ive been trying for a couple days and no luck. Any ideas? there are only a few parameters needed to make the connection. HW, Conn ID, address. unless there is something else i am missing.
Hi,
Is it possible to use MQTT library with PLC SIM Advanced? What of the options should be check to make simulation with PLCSIM Advanced? (I have already check "support simulation during block compilation")
Hi Viktor, from my experience I'd say it's not possible I'm afraid. Didn't have time to look into why though. If you have some time you could open the block up and see if completely stripping security options from the code itself would help as in general PLC Sim Advanced supports Open User Communication but doesn't support the security options and certificates.
Should working, except you must also use 'nettoplcsim' server to create a local server and use that one for connection (search on youtube how to use nettoplcsim :)
Hi, did you manage to do it?
@@draqos does it have to work with just PLCsim or with PLCsim Advanced?
Hi, could you give me an advice regarding the following
i watched the other video and I established the connection with (localhost) and some other laptops on the network. So, for me mosquitto broker is ok
I can't ping my broker
I skipped using the password step and I removed it from the program
I am using localPort=0 and mqttPort=1883 and hwIdentifier=64
when the block is enabled through (enable bit), I got [busy] bit True for a while then it becomes false, no errors were detected.
Just to be 100% sure there is no configuration errors from my side, Could you share the project files?
Many Thanks.
Also at 15:00 how did you manage to ping the broker ip before assigning it to the cpu?
You can find a demo project on the Siemens support site: support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109748872/
In regards to pinging, we're of course pinging the machine on which the broker is running. If it's a Windows machine I would first try disabling the firewall and only then check if you can actually ping. Having said that, if you can connect with a mosquitto client like MQTT Explorer but you can't ping I wouldn't worry about it too much and would most definitely say it will be the firewall blocking the ping itself.
I'd make sure to add some traps so that you most definitely capture any ERROR/STATUS codes. The ports and HW Identifier look ok for S7-1500 and default settings on the broker.
@@AutomationStation hi
I managed to get the communication established when changed the CPU to ET200SP, Many Thanks for your valuable reply. Now I have a problem with the broker IP address set in tiaportal
could you confirm if the broker address should be IP address of another laptop on the network? I will give an example to make it more clear
PC IP (Tiaportal installed): 172.16.0.53
CPU IP: 172.16.0.65
Laptop (on the network): 172.16.0.56
for the broker IP, should it be a different unique IP (ex 172.16.0.40) or it should be the ip of the other laptop on the network (Laptop (on the network): 172.16.0.56)?
i wish i explained clearly
Many Thanks in advance
It needs to be the IP of the device that's running your MQTT broker. If the broker is running on the laptop it should be the IP of your laptop.
@@AutomationStation HI boss
I did exactly as you mentioned and Now I have got the communication working!!!! THANK YOU
Furthermore,
May you make a video which describe the useful use of MQTT? For example, how to interface with a cloud service (such as google or AZUR) to move tag status/values directly to the cloud? I wish I explained well.
MANY THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR RESPONSE.
what is the broker ip adress. How can I connect from plc to mosquitto ? ı want to same laptop connection broker and plc
Check my other video on how to set up a mosquitto broker
Hi,
I'm not sure where you get 192.168.0.42 and 16#10?
Well 42 is just the local IP, might be different for you and 16#10 is a unique connection ID. You can set it to something else but needs to be unique
