OPC PLC server
Implements an OPC-UA server with different nodes generating random data, anomalies and configuration of user defined nodes.
- After deployment, the OPC PLC server will be available at
opc.tcp://<NAME>.<REGION>.azurecontainer.io:50000 - See region limits
Features
The following nodes are part of the PLC simulation:
- Alternating boolean
- Random signed 32-bit integer
- Random unsigned 32-bit integer
- Sine wave with a spike anomaly
- Sine wave with a dip anomaly
- Value showing a positive trend
- Value showing a negative trend
- Value having periodical good, bad and uncertain statuses (slow changing - 10 s by default)
- Value having periodical good, bad and uncertain statuses (fast changing - 1 s by default)
By default everything is enabled, use command line options to disable certain anomaly or data generation features. Additionally to those nodes with simulated data, a JSON configuration file allows nodes to be created as specified. Finally, the simulation supports a number of nodes of specific types that can change at a configurable rate.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
The implementation is based on .NET Core so it is cross-platform. The recommended hosting environment is Docker.
Quickstart
A Docker container of the component is hosted in the Microsoft Container Registry (MCR) and can be pulled by:
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/iotedge/opc-plc:<See version.json>The tags of the container match the tags of this repository and the containers are available for Windows and Linux.
Sample start command for Docker:
docker run --rm -it -p 50000:50000 -p 8080:8080 --name opcplc mcr.microsoft.com/iotedge/opc-plc:latest --pn=50000 --autoaccept --sph --sn=5 --sr=10 --st=uint --fn=5 --fr=1 --ft=uint --gn=5Sample start command for Windows:
dotnet opcplc.dll --pn=50000 --at X509Store --autoaccept --sph --sn=5 --sr=10 --st=uint --fn=5 --fr=1 --ft=uint --gn=5Note: Make sure that your OPC UA client uses security policy Basic256Sha256 and message security mode Sign & Encrypt to connect.
User node configuration via JSON configuration file
If the module (application) is started with the argument --nodesfile then the specified JSON configuration file is loaded.
Nodes defined in the JSON file will be published by the server. This enables another OPC-UA client application to set the state/value of the node. Please note that nodes specified in the JSON file are NOT part of the simulation. They remain visible in an unchanged state until an OPC UA client changes their status.
The following command shows how to use a configuration file on Windows:
dotnet opcplc.dll --at X509Store --nodesfile nodesfile.jsonHere's a sample node configuration file:
{
"Folder": "MyTelemetry",
"FolderList": [
{
"Folder": "Directory",
"NodeList": [
{
"NodeId": "ChildNode"
},
]
}
],
"NodeList": [
{
"NodeId": 1023,
"Name": "ActualSpeed",
"Description": "Rotational speed"
},
{
"NodeId": "aRMS"
},
{
"NodeId": "1025",
"Name": "DKW",
"DataType": "Float",
"ValueRank": -1,
"AccessLevel": "CurrentReadOrWrite",
"Description": "Diagnostic characteristic value"
}
]
}- Folder: Defines the name of the folder under which the user specified nodes should be created. This folder is created below the root of the OPC UA server.
- FolderList: Defines the list of child folders, which will be published by the emulated server. (Optional)
- NodeList: Defines the list of nodes, which will be published by the emulated server. Nodes specified in the list can be browsed and changed by OPC UA applications. This enables developers to easily implement and test OPC UA client applications.
- NodeId: Specifies the identifier of the node and is required. This value can be a decimal or string value. Every other JSON type is converted to a string identifier.
- Name: The display name of the tag. If not set it will be set to the NodeId. (Optional)
- DataType: The OPC UA valid type. It specifies one of types defined by BuiltInType. If an invalid type is specified or if it is omitted it defaults to 'Int32'. (Optional)
- ValueRank: As defined by type ValueRanks. If omitted it will be set to the value '-1' (Scalar). (Optional)
- AccessLevel: Specifies one of access levels defined by type AccessLevels. If an invalid access level is specified or if it is omitted it defaults to 'CurrentReadOrWrite'. (Optional)
- Description: Description of the node. If not set it will be set to the NodeId. (Optional)
Slow and fast changing nodes
A number of changing nodes can be simulated with the following options. The nodes are categorized into slow and fast only for convenience.
- sn: Number of slow nodes (default 1)
- sr: Rate in seconds at which to change the slow nodes (uint, default every 10 s)
- st: Data type for slow nodes (UInt|Double|Bool|UIntArray, case insensitive)
- stl: lower bound of data type of slow nodes (UInt|Double types only, defaults to minimium value of the type in C# with exception of Double where it defaults to 0.0)
- stu: upper bound of data type of slow nodes (UInt|Double types only, defaults to maximum value of the type in C#)
- str: randomization of slow nodes value (UInt|Double types only, defaults to false)
- sts: step or increment size of slow nodes value (UInt|Double types only, defaults to 1)
- fn: Number of fast nodes (default 1)
- fr: Rate in seconds at which to change the fast nodes (uint, default every 1 s)
- vfr: Rate in milliseconds at which to change the fast nodes (uint, default every 1000 ms)
- ft: Data type for fast nodes (UInt|Double|Bool|UIntArray, case insensitive)
- ftl: lower bound of data type of fast nodes (UInt|Double types only, defaults to minimium value of the type in C# with exception of Double where it defaults to 0.0)
- ftu: upper bound of data type of fast nodes (UInt|Double types only, defaults to maximum value of the type in C#)
- ftr: randomization of fast nodes value (UInt|Double types only, defaults to false)
- fts: step or increment size of fast nodes value (UInt|Double types only, defaults to 1)
Data types
- UInt: Increases by 1
- Double: Increases by 0.1
- Bool: Alternates
- UIntArray: 32 values that increase by 1
OPC Publisher file (pn.json)
The options --sph and --sp show and dump an OPC Publisher configuration file (default name: pn.json) that matches the configuration. In addition, a web server hosts the file on a configurable port (--wp, default 8080): e.g. http://localhost:8080/pn.json
Additionally, you can set the configuration file name via the option --spf.
Complex type (Boiler #1)
Adds a simple boiler to the address space.
Features:
- BoilerStatus is a complex type that shows: Temperature, Pressure and HeaterState
- Method to turn heater on/off
- When the heater is on, the bottom temperature increases by 1 degree/s, the top temperature is always 5 degrees less than the bottom one
- Pressure is calculated as 100000 + bottom temperature
Boiler #2 derived from the Device Information (DI) companion spec
Adds a configurable boiler that exposes DI properties such as AssetId (ITagNameplate, IVendorNameplate) and DeviceHealth.
Features:
- Configure and expose: BaseTemperature, TargetTemperature, TemperatureChangeSpeed, CurrentTemperature, HeaterState, Overheated, OverheatThresholdTemperature
- Method to switch heater on/off
- The MaintenanceInterval and OverheatInterval both emit events
Simulation details:
- When the heater is off, the CurrentTemperature falls to the BaseTemperature and the heater is switched on
- When the heater is on, the CurrentTemperature raises to the TargetTemperature and the heater is switched off
- Emits a "MaintenanceRequiredAlarmType" event when DeviceHealth is MAINTENANCE_REQUIRED
- The OverheatInterval increases the temperature to 10 degrees above the OverheatThresholdTemperature, the heater is switched off and:
- Emits a "CheckFunctionAlarmType" event when DeviceHealth is CHECK_FUNCTION
- Emits a "FailureAlarmType" event when DeviceHealth is FAILURE
- Emits an "OffSpecAlarmType" event when DeviceHealth is OFF_SPEC
DeviceHealth (DeviceHealthEnumeration) details:
- NORMAL: BaseTemperature <= CurrentTemperature <= TargetTemperature
- CHECK_FUNCTION: TargetTemperature < CurrentTemperature < OverheatThresholdTemperature
- FAILURE: Temperature >= OverheatThresholdTemperature
- OFF_SPEC: CurrentTemperature < BaseTemperature or CurrentTemperature > OverheatThresholdTemperature + 5
- MAINTENANCE_REQUIRED: Triggered by MaintenanceInterval
| Temperature | DeviceHealth |
|---|---|
| < BaseTemperature | OFF_SPEC |
| >= BaseTemperature | NORMAL |
| <= TargetTemperature | NORMAL |
| > TargetTemperature | CHECK_FUNCTION |
| >= OverheatThresholdTemperature | FAILURE |
| > OverheatThresholdTemperature + 5 | OFF_SPEC |
Simple Events
The option --ses enables simple events from the quickstart sample from OPC Foundation.
Simple Events defines four new event types. SystemCycleStatusEventType is inherited from the SystemEventType and SystemCycleStartedEventType, SystemCycleAbortedEventType, SystemCycleFinishedEventType from SystemCycleStatusEventType.
Every 3000 ms a new SystemCycleStartedEventState is triggered. (The other event types are not used.) Two messages are generated with a counter "The system cycle '{counter}' has started." for each event, one has severity 1 and the other one severity 2.
A structure of type CycleStepDataType is added to SystemCycleStartedEventState event. The values in that structure is hard coded to Name: Step 1 and Duration: 1000.
Alarms and Condition
The option --alm enables Alarm and Condition quickstart sample from OPC Foundation.
It creates a hierarchical folder structure from Server, starting with Green and Yellow. The leaf nodes SouthMotor, WestTank, EastTank and NorthMotor are sources for the alarms.
The alarms are of different types:
- Bronze - TripAlarmType
- Gold - ExclusiveDeviationAlarmType
- Silver - NonExclusiveLevelAlarmType
- OnlineState - DialogConditionType
All these alarms will update on a regular interval. It is also possible to Acknowledge, Confirm and add Comment to them.
This simulation also emits two types of system events: SystemEventType and AuditEventType, every 1000 ms.
Deterministic Alarms testing
The option --dalm=<file> enables deterministic testing of Alarms and Conditions.
More information about this feature can be found here.
Other features
- Node with special characters in name and NodeId
- Node with long ID (3950 bytes)
- Nodes with large values (10/50 kB string, 100 kB StringArray, 200 kB ByteArray)
- Nodes for testing all datatypes, arrays, methods, permissions, etc. The ReferenceNodeManager of the OPC UA .NET reference stack is used for this purpose.
- Limit the number of updates of Slow and Fast nodes. Update the values of the
SlowNumberOfUpdatesandFastNumberOfUpdatesconfiguration nodes in theOpcPlc/SimulatorConfigurationfolder to:< 0(default): Slow and Fast nodes are updated indefinitely0: Slow and Fast nodes are not updated> 0: Slow and Fast nodes are updated the given number of times, then they stop being updated (the value of the configuration node is decremented at every update).
- Nodes with deterministic random GUIDs as node IDs:
--gn=<number_of_nodes> - Nodes of type NodeId and ExpandedNodeId with IdType:
- String
- Numeric
- GUID
- Opaque
- Nodes with 1 kB (ByteString) values:
--vf1k. The first byte cycles from 0 to 255 in a configurable rate in ms:--vf1kr. The values are deterministic but scrambled to ensure that they are not efficiently compressed. - Load binary *.PredefinedNodes.uanodes file(s) compiled from an XML NodeSet:
--unf=<PredefinedNodes_uanodes> - Load *.NodeSet2.xml file(s):
--ns2=<NodeSet2_xml> - Node that shows working set memory consumption in MB: Root/Objects/OpcPlc/Telemetry/Special/WorkingSetMB

NuGet
- The OPC PLC build generates a NuGet package that can be used to add the OPC PLC server to your own project, e.g. for unit tests
- Sample base class for unit tests:
./samples/OpcPlcBase.cs - Sample unit test file that uses the base class:
./samples/OpcUaUnitTests.cs - Sample NuGet config to consume a local package (needs to be next to the solution file):
./samples/nuget.config - Sample project file that shows how to import the local OPC PLC nuget package:
./samples/OpcUaUnitTests.prj - Note: The NuGet package is not published to NuGet.org
Build
The build scripts are for Azure DevOps and the container build is done in ACR. To use your own ACR you need to:
- Create a service connection called azureiiot to the subscription/resource group in which your ACR is located
- Set a variable called BUILD_REGISTRY with the name of your Azure Container Registry
Using <reporoot>/tools/scripts/build.ps1 you can also build with Docker Desktop locally. The sample below builds a debug container and is started at the root of the repository:
.\tools\scripts\build.ps1 -Path . -DebugIf you want to build using Docker yourself, it is a bit more complicated, since the dockerfile is generated by the scripts.
So first run the build.ps1 script as above, then locate the dockerfile for your configuration and target runtime under <reporoot>/src/bin/publish.
Next, make your modifications and publish the opc-plc project in Visual Studio. Ensure that you have chosen "Self-Contained" as "Deployment Mode" and the correct "Target runtime" in the Visual Studio Publish configuration. Finally, run the docker build command in the folder you published to using the dockerfile of your configuration and target runtime.
Building with PowerShell is even simpler. Here's an example for a linux-x64 build:
.\tools\scripts\docker-source.ps1 .\src
docker build -f .\src\bin\publish\Release\linux-x64\Dockerfile.linux-amd64 -t iotedge/opc-plc .\src\bin\publish\Release\linux-x64Notes
X.509 certificates:
- Running on Windows natively, you cannot use an application certificate store of type
Directory, since the access to the private key will fail. Use the option--at X509Storein this case. - Running as Linux Docker container, you can map the certificate stores to the host file system by using the Docker run option
-v <hostpkidirectory>:/app/pki. This will make the certificate persistent over starts. - Running as Linux Docker container using an X509Store for the application certificate, you need to use the Docker run option
-v x509certstores:/root/.dotnet/corefx/cryptography/x509storesand the application option--at X509Store - When running in kubernetes context, use option
--at FlatDirectory. This enables the OPC UA server to consume both public key and private key certificates directly from the /app/pki/own/ path without expecting thecertsandprivatesubdirectories. Furthermore, certificates of type .crt and .key are accepted.
