CLAUDE.md "Docker Workflow" claims (per the 2026-04-28 migration note)
that all fixture-class default endpoints were rewritten to target the
shared Docker host at 10.100.0.35. Audit during today's e2e run showed
the claim was incomplete — five fixture classes still defaulted to
localhost / 127.0.0.1, causing every fixture-touching integration test
to skip with "endpoint unreachable" on a fresh box that hadn't set
the override env vars.
Files corrected:
- tests/.../Modbus.IntegrationTests/ModbusSimulatorFixture.cs
DefaultEndpoint: localhost:5020 → 10.100.0.35:5020
- tests/.../S7.IntegrationTests/Snap7ServerFixture.cs
DefaultEndpoint: localhost:1102 → 10.100.0.35:1102
- tests/.../OpcUaClient.IntegrationTests/OpcPlcFixture.cs
DefaultEndpoint: opc.tcp://localhost:50000 → opc.tcp://10.100.0.35:50000
- tests/.../AbCip.IntegrationTests/AbServerFixture.cs
Host default + ResolveHost fallback: 127.0.0.1 → 10.100.0.35
- tests/.../AbLegacy.IntegrationTests/AbLegacyServerFixture.cs
Host default + ResolveEndpoint fallback: 127.0.0.1 → 10.100.0.35
XML doc comments referencing the old localhost defaults were updated in
the same pass so the class-summary documentation matches the actual
default. The override-via-env-var mechanism (MODBUS_SIM_ENDPOINT,
AB_SERVER_ENDPOINT, AB_LEGACY_ENDPOINT, S7_SIM_ENDPOINT,
OPCUA_SIM_ENDPOINT) is unchanged — pointing at a real PLC or a
locally-running container still works exactly as before.
Verification:
- Solution-wide dotnet build: 0 errors.
- S7.IntegrationTests: 3/3 pass without env-var override.
- OpcUaClient.IntegrationTests: 3/3 pass without env-var override.
- Modbus.IntegrationTests: 4/38 (same as the env-var-override run —
the 2 failures + 32 skips are pre-existing fixture-profile
mismatches unrelated to this fix).
- AbCip.IntegrationTests / AbLegacy.IntegrationTests: same results
as the env-var-override run.

OtOpcUa
OPC UA server (.NET 10 AnyCPU) that exposes a fleet of industrial drivers as a single OPC UA address space. Drivers ship in-process for AVEVA System Platform Galaxy (via the sibling mxaccessgw repo), Modbus TCP, Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley CIP (ControlLogix / CompactLogix), Allen-Bradley Legacy (SLC 500 / MicroLogix), Beckhoff TwinCAT (ADS), FANUC FOCAS, and OPC UA Client (gateway).
A cross-platform client stack (.NET 10) — shared library, CLI, and Avalonia desktop app — connects to any OPC UA server.

MXAccess COM (x86 worker, on AVEVA box)
Galaxy is the only driver with an external runtime: it speaks gRPC to a separately installed mxaccessgw server (sibling repo at c:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\mxaccessgw\) which owns the MXAccess COM apartment and the x86/STA bitness constraint server-side. Everything in this repo is platform-agnostic .NET 10.
Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK (server, drivers, clients all target .NET 10)
- SQL Server reachable for the central config DB
- For Galaxy specifically: a running
mxaccessgwdeployment — see docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md - For Wonderware Historian read-back: optional
OtOpcUaWonderwareHistoriansidecar — see docs/ServiceHosting.md
Quick Start
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx
dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx
# Run the server in dev (foreground)
dotnet run --project src/Server/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Server
The server starts on opc.tcp://localhost:4840 with the None security profile. Configure Security.Profiles in src/Server/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Server/appsettings.json to enable Basic256Sha256-Sign or Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt. See docs/security.md.
Install as Windows Services
Production deployment is driven by scripts/install/Install-Services.ps1, which registers the OtOpcUa server service (and optionally the OtOpcUaWonderwareHistorian sidecar) under a chosen service account. Galaxy support requires a separately installed mxaccessgw — neither this repo nor the install script provisions it.
.\scripts\install\Install-Services.ps1 `
-InstallRoot 'C:\Program Files\OtOpcUa' `
-ServiceAccount 'DOMAIN\svc-otopcua'
Add -InstallWonderwareHistorian for the historian sidecar. See the script header and docs/ServiceHosting.md for full options.
Client CLI
dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- connect -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840
dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- browse -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -r -d 3
dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n "ns=2;s=SomeNode"
dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- write -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n "ns=2;s=SomeNode" -v 42
dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- subscribe -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n "ns=2;s=SomeNode" -i 500
