I tryed to connect to OPC UA server using the client provided on this page: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/42014088/programming-an-opc-ua-net-client-with-c%23-for-the-simatic-net-opc-ua-server?dti=0&lc=en-US . Connection to OPC UA server using the Siemens OPC Scount v10 works fine. When connecting to the OPC UA server using client provided in the article, I get this message:
Could not open UA TCP request channel.
Stack trace of the exception is this:

Any help would be appreciated. OPC UA server runs on Siemens Simatic HMI TP700 Comfort. Configuration on the OPC UA server is default.
After andrewcullen tip, we are getting the below log in the tracelog.txt file and error when catching the exception that says
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the server.

I got the answer from the Siemens official support:
The application was not tested with Comfort Panel. The code e.g. contains Block Read and Block Write which is not supported from the Panel Server. So this application will not work.
