Closes the loop between F10b (SDK NodeManager) and F14 (Phase7Plan +
Phase7Applier). DriverHostActor's successful apply now triggers a
RebuildAddressSpace on the publish actor, which loads the latest
deployment artifact + walks composer → planner → applier through the
sink. The OPC UA address space tracks the deployed composition.
DeploymentArtifact:
- New ParseComposition(blob) → Phase7CompositionResult that decodes
Equipment + DriverInstance + ScriptedAlarm arrays into the
projection records Phase7Planner consumes. Pascal-case property
names mirror ConfigComposer.SnapshotAndFlattenAsync's output.
- Each entity reader is tolerant: missing-id rows are dropped,
natural-key sort matches Phase7Composer's contract.
OpcUaPublishActor:
- New Props params: dbFactory + applier. When wired, RebuildAddressSpace
does:
1. LoadLatestArtifact (most recent Sealed Deployment.ArtifactBlob)
2. ParseComposition → Phase7CompositionResult
3. Phase7Planner.Compute(lastApplied, next) → Phase7Plan
4. Empty plan ⇒ no-op (deploy of unchanged composition is benign)
5. applier.Apply(plan) drives sink.RebuildAddressSpace +
WriteAlarmState for removed nodes
6. lastApplied = next so the next rebuild diffs forward
- Without dbFactory/applier wiring, falls back to raw
sink.RebuildAddressSpace — the dev/Mac path before #108 binds prod.
DriverHostActor:
- New Props param opcUaPublishActor (IActorRef?). After successful
ApplyAndAck (status Applied, ACK sent), tells the publish actor
RebuildAddressSpace with the same correlation id so the audit trail
threads through. Null publish actor ⇒ no trigger (admin-only nodes).
Tests: Runtime 63 -> 69 (+6):
- ParseComposition reads Equipment/Driver/Alarm sorted by natural key
- ParseComposition returns empty for empty blob
- Rebuild with dbFactory + sealed deployment artifact triggers exactly
one sink.Rebuild call (Equipment topology added)
- Rebuild with no artifact is idempotent no-op
- Second rebuild with same composition is empty-plan no-op
- Rebuild without dbFactory falls back to raw sink.Rebuild (legacy path)
All 6 v2 test suites green: 173 tests passing.
Closes #109. Engine-wiring data flow is now end-to-end through:
Deploy → DriverHostActor.ApplyAndAck → driver spawn + ACK +
RebuildAddressSpace → OpcUaPublishActor → Phase7Applier → SDK
NodeManager → subscribed OPC UA clients see the change.
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
