If you're just looking to verify OPC paths, just export to L5X (after disabling any source protection) and use @pturmel's [Ethernet/IP module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-ethernet-ip-communication-suite-v2/68190) to import the L5X into a host device.

You won't get any sort of IO simulation, as if simulating a PLC, but your connections will work and you can change tag values and watch the changes happen in real-time.

Also note, small difference with how [arrays of BOOLs](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/logix-driver-vs-ethip-driver-array-of-bools/81964) are handled in the Logix driver and Phil's module.
