  // Explanation of the implemented PLC software concept:
  // This function block implements an Industrial IoT data collection system for manufacturing assets.
  // It periodically collects performance data (production rate, energy consumption, and quality score)
  // and sends it to Siemens' Insights Hub using MQTT protocol. The data is formatted as JSON for easy
  // integration with cloud-based analytics tools.
  
  // Suggested TwinCAT 3 features or programming techniques to enhance the implementation:
  // 1. Use TwinCAT IoT Communication (TF6701) for more robust MQTT communication and built-in security features.
  // 2. Implement TwinCAT Analytics (TE3500) for local data preprocessing and advanced analytics capabilities.
  // 3. Utilize Structured Text Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to create a more modular and scalable solution
  //    for multiple assets or different types of data collection scenarios.<|endoftext|>
