Bridge Ethernet TCP/IP Data Strings to an MQTT Broker
The 460TCPQT moves data between an Ethernet-based ASCII command devices and an MQTT cloud-based platform. Allowing you to easily log data and leverage in populating dashboards. Best of all, the product is made in the USA and comes with 5-year warranty.
How Do I Use the 460TCPQT 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.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”

“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
