Does Ignition support binding to an OPC tag with datatype Float array? I have connected Ignition to an OPC DA server. Several of the tags are arrays of floats, which I would like to display in a chart.

If I drag/drop one of the Float array OPC tags from the OPC Browser in Ignition Designer to a Standard Transaction Group, it sets it to Data Type String, and when data comes in, it says it is Bad Quality, and the value is null.

Unfortunately, it cannot currently handle arrays. You have to address the individual items of the array, the exact syntax of which is different from server to server. We hope to work in better support for arrays soon.

Is there support for float or integer arrays now?

Hello,
