OPC-UA Adapter

Adapter between Mainflux IoT system and an OPC-UA Server.

This adapter sits between Mainflux and an OPC-UA server and just forwards the messages from one system to another.

OPC-UA Server is used for connectivity layer and the data is pushed via this adapter service to Mainflux, where it is persisted and routed to other protocols via Mainflux multi-protocol message broker. Mainflux adds user accounts, application management and security in order to obtain the overall end-to-end OPC-UA solution.

Configuration

The service is configured using the environment variables presented in the following table. Note that any unset variables will be replaced with their default values.

Deployment

The service itself is distributed as Docker container. Check the opcua-adapter service section in docker-compose to see how service is deployed.

To start the service outside of the container, execute the following shell script:

# download the latest version of the service
git clone https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux

cd mainflux

# compile the opcua-adapter
make opcua

# copy binary to bin
make install

# set the environment variables and run the service

Types

type BrowsedNode

type BrowsedNode struct {
	NodeID      string
	DataType    string
	Description string
	Unit        string
	Scale       string
	BrowseName  string
}

BrowsedNode represents the details of a browsed OPC-UA node.

type Browser

type Browser interface {
	// Browse availlable Nodes for a given URI.
	Browse(string, string) ([]BrowsedNode, error)
}

Browser represents the OPC-UA Server Nodes browser.

type Config

type Config struct {
	ServerURI string
	NodeID    string
	Interval  string
	Policy    string
	Mode      string
	CertFile  string
	KeyFile   string
}

Config OPC-UA Server

type EventStore

type EventStore interface {
	// Subscribes to a given subject and receives events.
	Subscribe(context.Context, string) error
}

EventStore represents event source for things and channels provisioning.

type RouteMapRepository

type RouteMapRepository interface {
	// Save stores/routes pair OPC-UA Server & Mainflux.
	Save(context.Context, string, string) error

	// Get returns the stored Mainflux route-map for a given OPC-UA pair.
	Get(context.Context, string) (string, error)

	// Remove Remove route-map from cache.
	Remove(context.Context, string) error
}

RouteMapRepository store route-map between the OPC-UA Server and Mainflux

type Service

type Service interface {
	// CreateThing creates thingID:OPC-UA-nodeID route-map
	CreateThing(ctx context.Context, thingID, nodeID string) error

	// UpdateThing updates thingID:OPC-UA-nodeID route-map
	UpdateThing(ctx context.Context, thingID, nodeID string) error

	// RemoveThing removes thingID:OPC-UA-nodeID route-map
	RemoveThing(ctx context.Context, thingID string) error

	// CreateChannel creates channelID:OPC-UA-serverURI route-map
	CreateChannel(ctx context.Context, chanID, serverURI string) error

	// UpdateChannel updates channelID:OPC-UA-serverURI route-map
	UpdateChannel(ctx context.Context, chanID, serverURI string) error

	// RemoveChannel removes channelID:OPC-UA-serverURI route-map
	RemoveChannel(ctx context.Context, chanID string) error

	// ConnectThing creates thingID:channelID route-map
	ConnectThing(ctx context.Context, chanID, thingID string) error

	// DisconnectThing removes thingID:channelID route-map
	DisconnectThing(ctx context.Context, chanID, thingID string) error

	// Browse browses available nodes for a given OPC-UA Server URI and NodeID
	Browse(ctx context.Context, serverURI, namespace, identifier string) ([]BrowsedNode, error)
}

Service specifies an API that must be fullfiled by the domain service implementation, and all of its decorators (e.g. logging & metrics).

func New

func New(sub Subscriber, brow Browser, thingsRM, channelsRM, connectRM RouteMapRepository, cfg Config, log logger.Logger) Service

New instantiates the OPC-UA adapter implementation.

type Subscriber

type Subscriber interface {
	// Subscribes to given NodeID and receives events.
	Subscribe(context.Context, Config) error
}

Subscriber represents the OPC-UA Server client.
