Hello, I'm receiving an error config status under the value within the Tags. The error is **"Error\_Configuration("Bad\_TooManyMonitoredItems: The request could not be processed because there are too many monitored items in the subscription.")**. I have configured around 1800 tags and whenever going to add new one, initially it gives this error and then after 10 mint tag status is good.  
I've also attempted to create new tag group, but it gives same message initially. So, please tell me whether problem is on client side or server.

If anyone has any idea it would be helpful.

Thanks.

That message comes from the server.

What server are you connected to? Some of them have pretty low limits on the number of Monitored Items that can be created, e.g. S7-1200 only allows 1000 or something like that.

Siemens S7-1500.  
Can we increase that limit?

AFAIK it's a function of the specific model you have and what firmware version you are on.

Firmware version is V3.0 and CPU 1516. Since the condition are matched as per pdf so can increase 4000 monitor elements.

Thanks for the info, that helps me solve my issue.
