Could you provide your Kepware Version and the Focas DLL version.

Here is a link to a KB, around focas drivers and "dll": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS281557

Ok, so could check also the dll version, suppose to be: FWLIB32.DLL (version 1.12.0.2 or later) and FWLIBE1.DLL (version 1.6.0.2 or later)

Just right click on you "dll", then select "Properties", and click on "detail" tab (I don't have the Focas "dll", so it's an example in this scree shot)
