Plugins

HumanOS comes with different plugin types. In a standard installation of HumanOS Runtime all plugin binaries are kept in the main directory.

However, each plugin type could have its own installation directory (check Plugin Configuration for more information).

There exists a second directory structure in Config-folder. Here, the plugin loading configuration (auto loading, blocking, blacklisting, etc.) can be configured.

Plugin Types

Pervasive Middleware Plugins:

• Database: Plugins responsible for node space persistence
  • For example, HumanOS.PeMiL.SQLiteDataBase: Persistence in SQLite database
• MessageBus: Plugins used for inter-process communication between two or more HumanOS Runtime micro-services.
• DataObjects: Plugins containing specific data objects, types and logic.
  • For example, entity model of a custom specific applications
• Processors: Plugin implementing specific data processors

Ubiquitous Hardware Abstraction Plugins:

• Drivers and Connectors: Hardware and device connectors
  • For example, HumanOS.UHAL.FanucControl: Driver for FANUC controls
• DeviceDetectors: Plugins to scan different media for new devices (PnP behavior)
  • For example, HumanOS.UHAL.DeviceDetectors: Standard device detection of static hardware configurations.

Pervasive Service Plugins:

• Services: Services Services as interface to higher level systems
  • For example, HumanOS.PeSeL.OPCUAServer: Full OPC-UA server

Configuration

Plugins are automatically detected and embedded into the HumanOS® Runtime.

To optimize speed or to get rid of unwanted behavior due to plugins, one can manually block plugins. Each plugin has its own configuration under Config\$(plugin-name)\ folder called settings.json.

It contains the general, and plugin specific configuration:

Attribute	Description	Data Type
Disable	Flag, to disable the plugin. Use this to improve the loading speed of the HumanOS® Runtime.	System.Boolean
ServiceRule	Optional construct to define a service rule (Only valid for PeSeL plugins)

Example:

{
  "Disabled": false,
  "ServiceRule": {
    "BindingRuleId": "128A39CA-F82B-4662-A246-7C9A490CD7BD",
    "UnbindingRuleId": "55458C10-C21F-47DB-BB32-31A90D4D8C97",
    "Type": "All"
  }
}

• For plugin specific configuration, check the corresponding plugin manual.

Middleware Database Plugins

Database plugins are responsible to store the data of HumanOS® Kernel. This includes:

• Node space persistence
• Historical and tagged data.
• Relational data storage (Entity Collection Nodes)

The list contains the most common database plugins:

Name	Description	Plugin Name	ID
SQLite DataBase	The database is based on SQLite. It is a simple and file-based data system.	HumanOS.PeMiL.SQLiteDataBase	{A3B98DDF-93FB-42A4-9DE3-F711CCE42011}
MySQL Database and MariaDB	MySql database and MariaDB binding including an entity framework to handle entity collection nodes.	HumanOS.PeMiL.MySQLDataBase	{288FEE8A-DCF1-457F-BE21-2D11EB5413E3}
PostgreSQL DataBase	Postgre SQL database	HumanOS.PeMiL.PostgreSQLDataBase	{70AA188E-E39D-4C86-B201-6D5412962899}

Setup a HumanOS Database with MySQL

Then, a database user must be setup:

1. Open MySQL Workbench
2. Go to User and Privileges
3. Add a new user, e.g. humanos.admin
4. Go to "Schema privileges" tab and click on [Add Entry]
5. Select the schema or "all schema", and click [OK]-button
   
6. Go to the tab Administrative Roles and select DBManager
   
7. Click [Apply] to store the data.

IMPORTANT

HumanOS MySQL Database Plugin is able to create schema and tables automatically. Check the appsettings of the HumanOS® Runtime before starting HumanOS®. See NodeSpace and Repository Configuration to configure the repository settings of HumanOS®.

Middleware MessageBus Plugins

Message bus plugins are responsible for intercommunication between HumanOS® Micro-Services. They provide the shared node-space.
