# Galaxy Driver The Galaxy driver bridges OtOpcUa to AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxies. It is a **Tier-A in-process driver** that runs in the OtOpcUa server's .NET 10 AnyCPU process and speaks gRPC to a separately installed `mxaccessgw` server (sibling repo at `c:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\mxaccessgw\`). The gateway owns the MXAccess COM apartment, the STA + Win32 message pump, the Galaxy Repository SQL reader, and the Historian SDK — all the bits that need x86 / .NET Framework 4.8 / COM interop. The driver itself is platform-agnostic and contains no COM, no STA thread, and no x86 bitness constraint. For the driver spec (capability surface, config shape, addressing), see [docs/v2/driver-specs.md §1](../v2/driver-specs.md). For the gateway setup recipe, see [docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md](../v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md). For tracing, metrics, and soak profile, see [docs/v2/Galaxy.Performance.md](../v2/Galaxy.Performance.md). > **Note**: the related drivers `Galaxy-Repository.md` and `Galaxy-Test-Fixture.md` describe the previous v1 / out-of-process topology and are being moved to `docs/v1/` by a parallel cleanup track. Use `Galaxy.ParityRig.md` and the `mxaccessgw` repo for current testing. ## Architecture ``` +---------------------------------------+ | OtOpcUa.Server (.NET 10 AnyCPU) | | GalaxyDriver (in-process) | | ITagDiscovery / IReadable / | | IWritable / ISubscribable / | | IRediscoverable / | | IHostConnectivityProbe | +-------------------+-------------------+ | gRPC (default http://localhost:5120) | v +---------------------------------------+ | mxaccessgw (sibling repo) | | +-------------------------------+ | | | MxGateway.Worker (x86 net48) | | | | STA + WM_APP pump | | | | ArchestrA.MxAccess COM | | | | Galaxy Repository SQL | | | | Wonderware Historian SDK | | | +-------------------------------+ | +---------------------------------------+ ``` History reads + alarm-condition tracking moved server-side in PR 7.2 (`IHistoryRouter`, `AlarmConditionService`). Galaxy no longer implements `IHistoryProvider` or `IAlarmSource` of its own. ## Project Layout The driver ships as a single project: `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy/` (.NET 10, AnyCPU). Sub-folders: | Folder | Role | |--------|------| | `Browse/` | Static-side discovery: `GalaxyDiscoverer` walks the gateway's hierarchy + attribute-set RPCs, `DataTypeMap` and `SecurityMap` translate Galaxy types and security classifications into OPC UA equivalents, `AlarmRefBuilder` extracts alarm-bearing attribute references for the server-layer alarm engine. `IGalaxyHierarchySource` + `GatewayGalaxyHierarchySource` + `TracedGalaxyHierarchySource` decorate the gateway browse RPC; `IGalaxyDeployWatchSource` + `GatewayGalaxyDeployWatchSource` + `DeployWatcher` drive `IRediscoverable`. | | `Runtime/` | Live data path: `EventPump` runs the gateway's `StreamEvents` RPC and fans out to subscribers via a bounded channel; `GalaxyMxSession` is the read-side handle; `GatewayGalaxySubscriber` + `GatewayGalaxyDataWriter` (each with a `Traced*` decorator) implement `ISubscribable` / `IWritable`; `SubscriptionRegistry` tracks subscription state for replay; `ReconnectSupervisor` owns the backoff loop and triggers `ReplaySubscriptions` on session loss; `StatusCodeMap` translates gateway StatusCodes to OPC UA; `MxValueDecoder` / `MxValueEncoder` handle scalar + array marshalling; `GalaxyTelemetry` + `GalaxySubscriptionHandle` round out the surface. | | `Health/` | `HostStatusAggregator` rolls per-platform probe state into the driver's `IHostConnectivityProbe` view; `PerPlatformProbeWatcher` listens on the gateway's per-host status stream; `HostConnectivityForwarder` pushes transitions out to the server's connectivity bus. | | `Config/` | `GalaxyDriverOptions` and the four nested option records (`GalaxyGatewayOptions`, `GalaxyMxAccessOptions`, `GalaxyRepositoryOptions`, `GalaxyReconnectOptions`). | Project root files: - `GalaxyDriver.cs` — `IDriver` + capability-interface implementation; composes the Browse / Runtime / Health collaborators. - `GalaxyDriverFactoryExtensions.cs` — DI registration helper used by the server's driver bootstrap. ## Capability Surface `GalaxyDriver : IDriver, ITagDiscovery, IReadable, IWritable, ISubscribable, IRediscoverable, IHostConnectivityProbe, IDisposable`. | Capability | Implementation entry point | |------------|---------------------------| | `ITagDiscovery` | `Browse/GalaxyDiscoverer.cs` | | `IRediscoverable` | `Browse/DeployWatcher.cs` | | `IReadable` | `Runtime/GalaxyMxSession.cs` | | `IWritable` | `Runtime/GatewayGalaxyDataWriter.cs` | | `ISubscribable` | `Runtime/GatewayGalaxySubscriber.cs` (driven by `EventPump`) | | `IHostConnectivityProbe` | `Health/HostStatusAggregator.cs` | ## Configuration `DriverConfig` JSON binds to `Config/GalaxyDriverOptions.cs`. The four sections are: - **`Gateway`** — endpoint, API key secret ref, TLS knobs, connect/call/stream timeouts. `StreamTimeoutSeconds = 0` keeps the long-lived `StreamEvents` RPC open for the driver's lifetime. - **`MxAccess`** — `ClientName` (must be unique per OtOpcUa instance — redundancy pairs enforce uniqueness at install time), `PublishingIntervalMs` (forwarded as `buffered_update_interval_ms` on subscribe), `WriteUserId` for ArchestrA secured-write, `EventPumpChannelCapacity` (default 50_000 — one second of headroom at 50k tags / 1Hz; tune via the `galaxy.events.dropped` metric). - **`Repository`** — `DiscoverPageSize`, `WatchDeployEvents`. - **`Reconnect`** — `InitialBackoffMs`, `MaxBackoffMs`, `ReplayOnSessionLost` (calls the gateway's `ReplaySubscriptions` RPC after reconnect rather than re-issuing subscribe-bulk for every tag). Full per-field descriptions live in `Config/GalaxyDriverOptions.cs`. The full JSON skeleton is reproduced in [docs/v2/driver-specs.md §1](../v2/driver-specs.md). ## Reconnect + Replay `ReconnectSupervisor` owns an exponential-backoff loop bounded by `Reconnect.InitialBackoffMs` / `MaxBackoffMs`. On session loss it tears down the gRPC channel, redials, and — when `ReplayOnSessionLost = true` — calls the gateway's `ReplaySubscriptions` RPC with the cached subscription set from `SubscriptionRegistry` instead of re-subscribing tag-by-tag. The gateway's worker then re-issues `AdviseSupervisory` server-side under the apartment lock. ## Testing - **Unit tests**: `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.Tests/` — fakes the gateway gRPC surface; covers Browse, Runtime, Health, and Config in isolation. - **Parity rig + dev-rig walkthrough**: see [docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md](../v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md). The rig stands up a real `mxaccessgw` against a live Galaxy and exercises the full read / write / subscribe / rediscover path. - **Performance + soak**: see [docs/v2/Galaxy.Performance.md](../v2/Galaxy.Performance.md). ## Operational Notes - **MXAccess `ClientName` collisions**: two OtOpcUa instances sharing a `ClientName` cause the older Wonderware session to lose subscription state. Redundancy pairs (decision #149) enforce uniqueness via install scripts. - **Channel saturation**: `galaxy.events.dropped > 0` indicates `EventPump` is back-pressured. Raise `EventPumpChannelCapacity` or investigate downstream slowness in the server-side fan-out. - **Connectivity surface**: per-platform probe state is exposed through `IHostConnectivityProbe` and aggregated by the server's connectivity bus — there is no driver-private dashboard surface anymore. The Admin UI's Host Status panel is the consumer.
