Introduction
The AUTOSOL OPC UA Service (the “Server”) functions as an OPC UA server and provides OPC UA clients access to real time ACM data. The Server is installed as a part of the ACM system. The Server must be installed and run on the same computer as ACM’s asiData service.
ACM OPC UA Beta is not designated for use in a production environment and should not be used to upgrade an existing version of ACM.
OPC UA Support
The Server conforms to OPC UA Specification 1.03 and utilizes the OPC UA Stack from the OPC UA Foundation. It supports client connections using either opc.tcp or https protocols.
Server profiles supported:
Standard UA Server
Data Access Facet
Namespace URI: http://autosoln.com/ACM/OPC.UA/DataAccess

System Requirements
OPC UA Beta System Requirements:
- .Net Framework 4.7.2
- Microsoft Windows: 8.1 and 10 (Anniversary Update or later)
- Microsoft Windows Server: 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019

The correct .NET packages should be installed prior to installing ACM and the Server. These packages are available from Microsoft and are not included in the ACM install.
For more information regarding ACM system requirements, reference the ACM System Planning and Requirements Guide.
General ACM Installation Notes
- Components from ACM 8.1 cannot be combined with components from ACM 7.1
- If upgrading from a 32-bit version of ACM 7.1 to the 64-bit version of ACM 8.1, ACM 7.1 must be first uninstalled.
- If upgrading from a Beta version of the 64-bit ACM 7.1, it must first be uninstalled.
- For installations that make use of Safe Mode operation, ACM 8.1 uses the "Microsoft ACE OLEDB 12.0" database driver for the safe mode database. The ACE OLEDB 12.0 driver can be downloaded from Microsoft here.
- It is always a good idea to back up your ACM configuration database before updating. This update makes changes to the database and if for some reason the update is not successful, a backup may be required to revert to your previous version of ACM. Instructions are found in the ACM User Guide under Maintenance –> Backing up the SQL Database
