# OtOpcUa documentation
|
|
|
|
Two tiers of documentation live here:
|
|
|
|
- **Current reference** at the top level (`docs/*.md`) — describes what's shipped today. Start here for operator + integrator reference.
|
|
- **Implementation history + design notes** at `docs/v2/*.md` — the authoritative plan + decision log the current reference is built from. Start here when you need the *why* behind an architectural choice, or when a top-level doc says "see plan.md § X".
|
|
|
|
The project was originally called **LmxOpcUa** (a single-driver Galaxy/MXAccess OPC UA server) and has since become **OtOpcUa**, a multi-driver OPC UA server platform. Any lingering `LmxOpcUa`-string in a path you see in docs is a deliberate residual (executable name `lmxopcua-cli`, client PKI folder `{LocalAppData}/LmxOpcUaClient/`) — fixing those requires migration shims + is tracked as follow-ups.
|
|
|
|
## Platform overview
|
|
|
|
- **Core** owns the OPC UA stack, address space, session/security/subscription machinery.
|
|
- **Drivers** plug in via capability interfaces in `ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Core.Abstractions`: `IDriver`, `IReadable`, `IWritable`, `ITagDiscovery`, `ISubscribable`, `IHostConnectivityProbe`, `IAlarmSource`, `IHistoryProvider`, `IPerCallHostResolver`. Each driver opts into whichever it supports.
|
|
- **Server** is the OPC UA endpoint process (net10, x64). Hosts every driver except Galaxy in-process; talks to Galaxy via a named pipe because MXAccess COM is 32-bit-only.
|
|
- **Admin** is the Blazor Server operator UI (net10, x64). Owns the Config DB draft/publish flow, ACL + role-grant authoring, fleet status + `/metrics` scrape endpoint.
|
|
- **Galaxy.Host** is a .NET Framework 4.8 x86 Windows service that wraps MXAccess COM on an STA thread for the Galaxy driver.
