Two follow-ups from the post-PR-7.2 audit:
1. Reinstate verified-current architecture deep-dive links that the
doc-cleanup pass dropped pending verification:
- docs/OpcUaServer.md (server composition, namespace fan-out,
Polly invoker)
- docs/IncrementalSync.md (driver-backend rediscovery + config
publishes)
- docs/ReadWriteOperations.md (driver vs virtual vs scripted-alarm
dispatch)
All three reference live Phase 6.2 / Phase 7 features and the
current GenericDriverNodeManager / CapabilityInvoker / OTOPCUA0001
analyzer codepaths.
2. Restructured the README link table into three logical sections —
"Architecture deep-dives" / "Drivers" / "Clients" — and added a
"v1 archive" section pointing at docs/v1/ for the retired in-process
MXAccess docs.
3. Removed the dead docs/Configuration.md link (the file moved to
docs/v1/Configuration.md in the v1 archive sweep). All 16 link
targets in the new README now resolve.
Plus: physically removed the 9 leftover Driver.Galaxy.* directories
from src/ and tests/ that PR 7.2's git rm cleared from tracking but
left as orphan bin/obj scaffolding on disk. No tracked-content
change for that part.

# 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.

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 `mxaccessgw` deployment — see [docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md](docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md)
|
|
- For Wonderware Historian read-back: optional `OtOpcUaWonderwareHistorian` sidecar — see [docs/ServiceHosting.md](docs/ServiceHosting.md)
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The server starts on `opc.tcp://localhost:4840` with the `None` security profile. Configure `Security.Profiles` in `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Server/appsettings.json` to enable `Basic256Sha256-Sign` or `Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt`. See [docs/security.md](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.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\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](docs/ServiceHosting.md) for full options.
|
|
|
|
## Client CLI
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- connect -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840
|
|
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- browse -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -r -d 3
|
|
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n "ns=2;s=SomeNode"
|
|
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- write -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n "ns=2;s=SomeNode" -v 42
|
|
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- subscribe -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n "ns=2;s=SomeNode" -i 500
|
|
```
