Wires the OPC UA SDK into the fused Host's lifecycle on driver-role
nodes + spawns OpcUaPublishActor with the proper sink/publisher/dbFactory/
applier resolution. The full read+write data path is now live in
production: Deploy → DriverHost → OpcUaPublish → SDK NodeManager →
subscribed OPC UA clients.
DeferredAddressSpaceSink (Commons.OpcUa):
- Thread-safe wrapper IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink that delegates to an
inner sink swapped in at runtime. Needed because Akka actors
resolve the sink at construction time, but the production sink
(SdkAddressSpaceSink wrapping OtOpcUaNodeManager) only exists
after the SDK StandardServer has started.
- Defaults to NullOpcUaAddressSpaceSink so calls before swap are
safe; SetSink(null) reverts (for graceful shutdown).
OtOpcUaServerHostedService (Host.OpcUa):
- IHostedService that owns the OPC UA SDK lifecycle. Reads
OpcUaApplicationHostOptions from the 'OpcUa' config section,
creates an OtOpcUaSdkServer, boots it through OpcUaApplicationHost,
then swaps a real SdkAddressSpaceSink into the DeferredAddressSpaceSink
singleton.
- SDK boot failure is logged + non-fatal — the rest of the host
(admin UI, driver actors) keeps running. Stop reverts to null sink.
WithOtOpcUaRuntimeActors (Runtime):
- Now spawns OpcUaPublishActor (new actor) + threads its ActorRef
into DriverHostActor's Props so successful applies trigger the
address-space rebuild pipeline.
- Phase7Applier is constructed here from the resolved sink + a
logger; OpcUaPublishActor takes both.
- Prepends the opcua-synchronized-dispatcher HOCON so the extension
is self-contained — consumers (Host, tests) don't need to redeclare
the dispatcher block.
- New OpcUaPublishActorKey + OpcUaPublishActorName for actor-registry
resolution.
- AddOtOpcUaRuntime now also TryAddSingleton's NullOpcUaAddressSpaceSink
+ NullServiceLevelPublisher so admin-only nodes (or tests that
don't bind the Deferred sink) stay safe.
Host.Program.cs (driver-role only):
- Binds DeferredAddressSpaceSink as singleton + as IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink
- AddHostedService<OtOpcUaServerHostedService>()
Tests: OpcUaServer 24 -> 28 (+4 DeferredAddressSpaceSink unit tests),
Runtime 69 -> 69 (existing ServiceCollectionExtensionsTests extended
to verify the new mux + publish actor registration).
All 6 v2 test suites green: 177 tests passing.
Closes #108. Engine-wiring is now production-bound end-to-end on
driver-role nodes — Deploy reaches real OPC UA Variable nodes that
subscribed clients see.
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
