Task List: B24SiemensEmulator Implementation

Based on the PRD for B24SiemensEmulator, here are the detailed tasks required to implement the feature:

Relevant Files

• B24SiemensEmulator/MainForm.cs - Main Windows Forms interface with input/output panels and event handling
• B24SiemensEmulator/PLCPacket.cs - PLCPacket data structure with serialization and validation methods
• B24SiemensEmulator/TcpClient.cs - TCP client for connecting to B24SiemensPlugin with auto-reconnect
• B24SiemensEmulator/ConfigurationManager.cs - JSON save/load functionality for packet configurations
• B24SiemensEmulator/Program.cs - Application entry point that launches MainForm
• B24SiemensEmulator/B24SiemensEmulator.csproj - Project file with Newtonsoft.Json dependency

Notes

• The existing B24SiemensEmulator project structure will be used as the foundation
• PLCPacket.cs should match the structure from B24SiemensPlugin exactly
• TCP communication must use localhost:42010 to connect to B24SiemensPlugin

Tasks

• 1.0 Setup Project Structure and Dependencies
  • 1.1 Verify existing B24SiemensEmulator project configuration
  • 1.2 Add required NuGet packages (Newtonsoft.Json for JSON serialization)
  • 1.3 Update project references and using statements
• 2.0 Implement PLCPacket Data Structure and Communication
  • 2.1 Copy PLCPacket class from B24SiemensPlugin project
  • 2.2 Implement PLCPacket serialization/deserialization methods
  • 2.3 Add validation methods for PLCPacket fields
• 3.0 Create Windows Forms User Interface
  • 3.1 Design main form layout with input and output panels
  • 3.2 Add input controls for all PLCPacket fields (checkboxes, numeric inputs, text input)
  • 3.3 Add read-only output controls to display response packet
  • 3.4 Add control buttons (Start/Stop, Save/Load Config)
  • 3.5 Add status display and error message areas
• 4.0 Implement TCP Client Network Communication
  • 4.1 Create TCP client class for connecting to localhost:42010
  • 4.2 Implement asynchronous packet sending every 1 second
  • 4.3 Implement response packet receiving and parsing
  • 4.4 Add connection error handling with automatic retry
  • 4.5 Integrate network communication with UI controls
• 5.0 Add Configuration Management (JSON Save/Load)
  • 5.1 Create configuration data model for PLCPacket fields
  • 5.2 Implement JSON serialization for configuration saving
  • 5.3 Implement JSON deserialization for configuration loading
  • 5.4 Add file dialog integration for save/load operations
  • 5.5 Add error handling and validation for JSON operations
• 6.0 Add Apply Button for Packet Configuration
  • 6.1 Add Apply button to input section UI
  • 6.2 Implement currentPacket storage separate from UI values
  • 6.3 Update TCP client to use applied packet instead of live UI values
  • 6.4 Add visual feedback for Apply button action
