Add MQTT Subscriber

Configure a MQTT Subscriber to subscribe messages to MQTT Broker on a defined Topic. If a client subscribes to a Topic, it receives all messages that the broker forwards for that topic.
TIP: The subscriber can receive variables from other
FactoryTalk® Optix™
 clients, and other clients using the supported format.
