New project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Core.Abstractions (.NET 10, BCL-only dependencies, GenerateDocumentationFile=true, TreatWarningsAsErrors=true) defining the contract surface every driver implements. Per docs/v2/plan.md decisions #4 (composable capability interfaces), #52 (streaming IAddressSpaceBuilder), #53 (capability discovery via `is` checks no flag enum), #54 (optional IRediscoverable sub-interface), #59 (Core.Abstractions internal-only for now design as if public). Eleven capability interfaces: - IDriver — required lifecycle / health / config-apply / memory-footprint accounting (per driver-stability.md Tier A/B allocation tracking) - ITagDiscovery — discovers tags streaming to IAddressSpaceBuilder - IReadable — on-demand reads idempotent for Polly retry - IWritable — writes NOT auto-retried by default per decisions #44 + #45 - ISubscribable — data-change subscriptions covering both native (Galaxy MXAccess advisory, OPC UA monitored items, TwinCAT ADS) and driver-internal polled (Modbus, AB CIP, S7, FOCAS) mechanisms; OnDataChange callback regardless of source - IAlarmSource — alarm events + acknowledge + AlarmSeverity enum mirroring acl-design.md NodePermissions alarm-severity values - IHistoryProvider — HistoryReadRaw + HistoryReadProcessed with continuation points - IRediscoverable — opt-in change-detection signal; static drivers don't implement - IHostConnectivityProbe — generalized from Galaxy's GalaxyRuntimeProbeManager per plan §5a - IDriverConfigEditor — Admin UI plug-point for per-driver custom config editors deferred to each driver's phase per decision #27 - IAddressSpaceBuilder — streaming builder API for driver-driven address-space construction Plus DTOs: DriverDataType, SecurityClassification (mirroring v1 Galaxy model), DriverAttributeInfo (replaces Galaxy-specific GalaxyAttributeInfo per plan §5a), DriverHealth + DriverState, DataValueSnapshot (universal OPC UA quality + timestamp carrier per decision #13), HostConnectivityStatus + HostState + HostStatusChangedEventArgs, RediscoveryEventArgs, DataChangeEventArgs, AlarmEventArgs + AlarmAcknowledgeRequest + AlarmSeverity, WriteRequest + WriteResult, HistoryReadResult + HistoryAggregateType, ISubscriptionHandle + IAlarmSubscriptionHandle + IVariableHandle. DriverTypeRegistry singleton with Register / Get / TryGet / All; thread-safe via Interlocked.Exchange snapshot replacement on registration; case-insensitive lookups; rejects duplicate registrations; rejects empty type names. DriverTypeMetadata record carries TypeName + AllowedNamespaceKinds (NamespaceKindCompatibility flags enum per decision #111) + per-config-tier JSON Schemas the validator checks at draft-publish time (decision #91). Tests project tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Core.Abstractions.Tests (xUnit v3 1.1.0 matching existing test projects). 24 tests covering: 1) interface independence reflection check (no references outside BCL/System; all public types in root namespace; every capability interface is public); 2) DriverTypeRegistry round-trip, case-insensitive lookups, KeyNotFoundException on unknown, null on TryGet of unknown, InvalidOperationException on duplicate registration (case-insensitive too), All() enumeration, NamespaceKindCompatibility bitmask combinations, ArgumentException on empty type names. Build: 0 errors, 4 warnings (only pre-existing transitive package vulnerability + analyzer hints). Full test suite: 845 passing / 1 failing — strict improvement over Phase 0 baseline (821/1) by the 24 new Core.Abstractions tests; no regressions in any other test project. Phase 1 entry-gate record (docs/v2/implementation/entry-gate-phase-1.md) documents the deviation: only Stream A executed in this continuation since Streams B-E need SQL Server / GLAuth / Galaxy infrastructure standup per dev-environment.md Step 1, which is currently TODO.

LmxOpcUa
OPC UA server and cross-platform client tools for AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy. The server exposes Galaxy tags via MXAccess as an OPC UA address space. The client stack provides a shared library, CLI tool, and Avalonia desktop application for browsing, reading/writing, subscriptions, alarms, and historical data.

Server
The OPC UA server runs on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) and bridges the Galaxy runtime to OPC UA clients.
Server Prerequisites
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- AVEVA System Platform with ArchestrA Framework installed
- Galaxy repository database (SQL Server, Windows Auth)
- MXAccess COM registered (
LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer) - Wonderware Historian (optional, for historical data access)
- Windows (required for COM interop and MXAccess)
Build and Run Server
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
The server starts on opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa with the None security profile by default. Configure Security.Profiles in appsettings.json to enable Basic256Sha256-Sign or Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt for transport security. See Security Guide.
Install as Windows Service
cd src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host/bin/Debug/net48
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe start
Service logon requirement: The service must run under a Windows account that has access to the AVEVA Galaxy and Historian. The default LocalSystem account can connect to MXAccess and SQL Server but cannot authenticate with the Historian SDK (HCAP). Configure the service to "Log on as" a domain or local user that is a recognized ArchestrA platform user. This can be set in services.msc or during install with ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install -username DOMAIN\user -password ***.
Run Server Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.IntegrationTests
Client Stack
The client stack is cross-platform (.NET 10) and consists of three projects sharing a common IOpcUaClientService abstraction. No AVEVA software or COM is required — the clients connect to any OPC UA server.
Client Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- No platform-specific dependencies (runs on Windows, macOS, Linux)
