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.
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.
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_HTTP_PORT | Service HTTP port | 8180 |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_LOG_LEVEL | Service Log level | error |
| MF_NATS_URL | NATS instance URL | nats://localhost:4222 |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_INTERVAL_MS | OPC-UA Server Interval in milliseconds | 1000 |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_POLICY | OPC-UA Server Policy | |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_MODE | OPC-UA Server Mode | |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_CERT_FILE | OPC-UA Server Certificate file | |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_KEY_FILE | OPC-UA Server Key file | |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_ROUTE_MAP_URL | Route-map database URL | localhost:6379 |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_ROUTE_MAP_PASS | Route-map database password | |
| MF_OPCUA_ADAPTER_ROUTE_MAP_DB | Route-map instance name | 0 |
| MF_THINGS_ES_URL | Things service event source URL | localhost:6379 |
| MF_THINGS_ES_PASS | Things service event source password | |
| MF_THINGS_ES_DB | Things service event source DB | 0 |

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
