Array tags were advertised writable but every write threw InvalidCastException
in ConvertForWrite (reported BadTypeMismatch); STRING writes went through the
Beckhoff marshaller with no length check against STRING(n) and the host's
ANSI code page, which the read side deliberately avoids.
- Array write: TwinCATArrayCodec.ToWriteElements converts exactly ArrayLength
elements to the declared type (CLR lists convert - ScadaBridge writes int[]
to Int16 nodes; a length mismatch or out-of-range element is BadOutOfRange, a
scalar value BadTypeMismatch) before any wire traffic; the ADS client plans
the layout from the resolved PLC array (TwinCATTypeGuard.CheckArray, as the
read does), encodes with TwinCATArrayCodec.Encode - the exact inverse of
Decode - and writes the raw bytes (new ITwinCATClient.WriteArrayAsync).
- STRING / WSTRING write: encoded at the PLC's declared width by
TwinCATStringCodec.EncodeString/EncodeWString (Windows-1252 or UTF-8 per
target, NUL-padded, strict: an over-long value or unrepresentable character
is OverflowException -> BadOutOfRange) and written as raw bytes.
- TwinCAT CLI read/write gain --array-length (+ --separator) for the hardware
gate.

Re-review at 7286d320. -008 (Low): ParseValue maps FormatException/OverflowException to a
clean CommandException (was raw stack trace) + tests. -009: FlushLogging() in all 5 commands'
finally blocks (parity with AbCip.Cli).
Adds <summary>, <param>, <typeparam>, and <inheritdoc/> tags to public
members surfaced by commentchecker — resolves 5,847 of 5,869 issues
(99.6%) across three /fixdocs passes.
Group all 69 projects into category subfolders under src/ and tests/ so the
Rider Solution Explorer mirrors the module structure. Folders: Core, Server,
Drivers (with a nested Driver CLIs subfolder), Client, Tooling.
- Move every project folder on disk with git mv (history preserved as renames).
- Recompute relative paths in 57 .csproj files: cross-category ProjectReferences,
the lib/ HintPath+None refs in Driver.Historian.Wonderware, and the external
mxaccessgw refs in Driver.Galaxy and its test project.
- Rebuild ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx with nested solution folders.
- Re-prefix project paths in functional scripts (e2e, compliance, smoke SQL,
integration, install).
Build green (0 errors); unit tests pass. Docs left for a separate pass.
