Halcyon is a scalable, cross-platform, embeddable, open-source OPC-UA server.

Building and Running Halcyon

Step 0

Install JDK8 and make sure it's either a) the default JDK on your path or b) the JDK $JAVA_HOME points to.

Step 1

Clone, build, and install mezzanine, the OPC-UA SDK Halcyon is built on.

git clone https://github.com/digitalpetri/mezzanine.git
cd mezzanine
mvn install

This step will only be necessary until mezzanine is being released to Maven Central.

Step 2

Clone, build, and package halcyon.

git clone https://github.com/digitalpetri/halcyon.git
cd halcyon
mvn package

If packaging halcyon was successful a zip distribution can be found under halcyon-jsw/target called halcyon-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip (or whatever the current version actually is...)

Step 3

Install and configure the halcyon distribution...

mkdir /opt/halcyon
unzip -d /opt/halcyon halcyon-jsw/target/halcyon-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
cd /opt/halcyon
chmod +x bin/halcyon.sh

At this point you'll probably want to uncomment and modify the wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dhostname=localhost parameter in config/wrapper.conf so it points to a resolvable hostname or the IP address.

Step 4

Start Halcyon

/opt/halcyon/bin/halcyon.sh start

Installing New Connection Types

Halcyon doesn't come bundled with any connection types, which admittedly makes for a pretty uninteresting OPC-UA server.

But once you've developed/acquired a new connection type its jar files should be placed in the lib/ folder and its connection instance configuration files placed in the connections/ folder.

If you ask me nicely ([email protected]) I'll send you a Modbus connection binary you can test with.
