Phase7Composer now carries UnsAreaProjection + UnsLineProjection lists so the applier can materialise the full UNS topology in the OPC UA address space. New IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink.EnsureFolder(folderNodeId, parentNodeId, displayName) seam (no-op default, recorded in tests, forwarded by DeferredAddressSpaceSink, implemented by SdkAddressSpaceSink). The SDK- side OtOpcUaNodeManager gains an EnsureFolder API that creates FolderState nodes with proper parent linkage; RebuildAddressSpace now clears folders too so re-applies don't accumulate stale topology. Phase7Applier.MaterialiseHierarchy walks composition.UnsAreas → composition.UnsLines → composition.EquipmentNodes, calling EnsureFolder with the correct parent at each level. Idempotent — calling twice with the same composition is a no-op. OpcUaPublishActor.HandleRebuild invokes it after Phase7Applier.Apply so OPC UA clients browsing the server now see Area/Line/Equipment as proper folders rather than flat tag ids. DeploymentArtifact.ParseComposition reads UnsAreas + UnsLines from the JSON snapshot the ControlPlane emits, populating the new fields when present. Phase7Composer.Compose now accepts UnsAreas + UnsLines; a 3-arg overload preserves the old signature for legacy callers + existing tests. The Phase7CompositionResult convenience ctor likewise keeps the planner tests working without UNS data. 3 new hierarchy tests (pure unit + boot-verify against a real OtOpcUaSdkServer); OpcUaServer suite is 48/48 green (was 45, +3), Runtime 74/74 unchanged. Closes #85.
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
