Ignition IIoT Certification Guide
The interactive companion course to the book
Enrolling includes the book as a PDF download.
The Ignition IIoT certification is built around MQTT, Sparkplug B and the three Cirrus Link modules. This course follows the Ignition IIoT Certification Guide chapter by chapter and shows every message moving between edge node, broker and host.
- Watch a Sparkplug edge node connect, be born, report by exception, take a command and die
- Build Sparkplug topics and play the host: catch sequence gaps, stale deaths and rebirths
- Configure Distributor, Transmission and Engine, server sets, primary host ID, TLS and store and forward
- Every chapter ends with the book's Check Yourself questions and answers
- A full practice test, scored, with explanations
Includes the complete book as a PDF download.
Part I is free to preview.
