Microsoft Azure IoT Hub
The Microsoft Azure IoT Hub is an IoT suite in the Azure cloud, which offers several services for connecting IoT devices with Azure services, processing incoming messages or sending messages to the devices. From a device perspective, the functionalities of the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub enable simple and safe connection of IoT devices with Azure services by facilitating bidirectional communication between the devices and the Azure IoT Hub.
Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and TwinCAT IoT
The Microsoft Azure IoT Hub offers several communication interfaces for receiving or sending messages, including MQTT. It is therefore possible to use TwinCAT IoT to send messages to or receive messages from the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub or to control the Device Twin or execute method calls to the device.
Various samples illustrate how to connect to the Microsoft Azure IoT Hub.
