Hi Chris, I'm taking a look into the driver at this very moment.
No worries, it is the same here... so much to do with only so little time... I think I'm good with the things how they are for the time being, and if not, I'll see if I can put the things together. I'm keen to work on this project. Maybe I can find the time after my current obligations are satisfied.

I always had planned to re-implement an ad-hoc address resolution, but never found the time 😕 All parts needed should be there to add that, but someone would still need to implement that.

It is Twincat 3 for me. I was able to get a connection for reading and browsing the PLC. One of my problems have been related in the load-symbol-and-data-type-tables option. I had set it to false. I thought the driver would discover the symbolic addresses on a per variable bases while querying it, but it doesn't. As soon as I set the options to true I can browse the variables.

For twincat 2.x you can use .<VAR_NAME> syntax, for 3.x you use <Task>.<VAR_NAME>. Given your example, for TC2 symbolic address on plc4x side will be .GVL and .GVL_TEST. For fresh twincats it will be Main.GVL and Main.GVL_Test (assuming you have such task in your PLC project).
