First real FOCAS hardware contact (Makino Pro 5 / 31i-B @ 10.201.31.5). A full
v3 data-PDU capture corrected the initial diagnosis: the v3 block envelope is
identical to v1, so only specific payload structs / request math / one client
robustness gap were wrong — not "framing rewrites".
Fixes (all re-validated live through the fixed driver):
- version gate: accept inbound PDU {1,3}, keep emitting v1 (FocasWireProtocol).
- cnc_rdtimer: 8-byte {minute,msec} payload is little-endian (ParseTimer) — the
only decode with an in-range msec field.
- pmc_rdpmcrng: request range widened to the data-type byte width
(end = start + width - 1) so a Word/Long isn't truncated to 0 values
(was spurious BadOutOfRange); decode extracted to ParsePmcRange.
- cnc_rdsvmeter: per-axis LOADELM is 8 bytes (not 12) and names come from the
0x0089 block — ParseServoMeters fixes the misaligned 655360 garbage. Also the
"hang" was NetworkStream.ReadAsync not aborting a stalled socket: ReadExactlyAsync
now disposes the stream on cancellation so a stalled peer can't wedge a poll loop.
- cnc_rddynamic2: contract guard rejecting axis < 1 (driver poll already 1-based).
- FocasDriverProbe: run a real wire session (initiate + cnc_statinfo) instead of
degrading to Ok=true "TCP reachability only" when FWLIB is absent — a bare TCP
listener no longer reports HEALTHY.
cnc_rdparam (0x000e) is unsupported on this control — EW_FUNC across 14
request-framing variants x 4 known-present params; needs a reference FWLIB trace
or is restricted. Deferred (deployed config uses macros, not parameters).
Tests: FOCAS suite 234 green (+16), full solution builds 0 errors. Raw v3
captures checked in under tests/.../Fixtures/v3/. Capture tools under scripts/focas/.

AdminUI driver-instance pages serialized enum config fields (S7 CpuType,
Modbus DataType/Region, AbCip PlcFamily, ...) as JSON *numbers* because each
page's _jsonOpts lacked a JsonStringEnumConverter. The driver factories,
however, deserialize into string-typed DTOs (+ lenient ParseEnum) and throw
when binding a JSON number to a string? — so an AdminUI-authored config
containing any enum field produced a blob the driver could not parse,
faulting the driver on deploy. Proven end-to-end for S7 and Modbus; latent
for AbCip/AbLegacy/TwinCAT/FOCAS/Galaxy/Historian. Only OpcUaClient was safe
(its factory + probe already carried the converter).
Add JsonStringEnumConverter to all 9 driver-instance pages' _jsonOpts and the
8 missing driver probes' _opts (factories unchanged — already string-via-
ParseEnum; strictly more permissive, also lets pages load hand-seeded
string-enum configs back into the form).
Also fix DriverProbeHandshakeE2eTests.AbCip_Green_AgainstSim to probe a real
sim tag (TestDINT) — the no-tags @raw_cpu_type fallback is rejected by the
ab_server sim with ErrorBadParam (a real ControlLogix returns ErrorNotFound,
which the probe treats as reachable; hardware-gated follow-up).
Tests: reflection guard over all driver pages' _jsonOpts (AdminUI.Tests);
factory round-trip + numeric-form-throws guards for S7 and Modbus.
Found by running the never-before-run FB-9/FB-10 live verifies.
Cheap-and-fast probe: open TCP socket to the configured endpoint,
close immediately. Surfaces SocketError on failure, latency on
success, "timed out" on caller cancel. Sufficient for the AdminUI
Test Connect "can we reach the host?" question. Richer protocol-
level probes (OPC UA session open, FOCAS handshake, gRPC ping)
are a documented follow-up. Each probe registered as
AddSingleton<IDriverProbe, X> in DriverFactoryBootstrap so they
flow through DI into AdminOperationsActor.
Historian.Wonderware returns a clean "TCP probe not applicable"
result because it communicates over a Windows named pipe, not TCP.
Also adds OpcUaClient + Historian.Wonderware.Client project
references to Host.csproj (both were missing from the driver
ItemGroup).
