my Click PLC is saving a value on C1 (Contact Normally Open Bit memory address).  
From Ignition Designer I can’t retrieve the value on the OPC tag. I tried the following combinations with no luck:  
Boolean | [Click\_PLC]HR1 | [Click\_PLC]DI1 | [Click\_PLC]C1 | [Click\_PLC]IR1 |  
Byte | [Click\_PLC]HR1 | [Click\_PLC]DI1 | [Click\_PLC]C1 | [Click\_PLC]IR1 |

Ignition OPC UA Server is connected  
Click\_PLC device is connected via Modbus TCP

Resource used:  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Modbus+Addressing#ModbusAddressing-ManuallyAddressingaModbusDevice](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Modbus+Addressing#ModbusAddressing-ManuallyAddressingaModbusDevice)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,  
Pablo

Are you sure C1 in the click is modbus address 0x1? The click gui will show you what the modbus addresses are so I would double check that.

Good point. This is what I see

How should I map it on the OPC tag if I know C1 is equivalent to modbus Address 16385?

Would also be worth figuring out what unit/slave ID the CLICK is expecting.

Ignition defaults to 0 if not specified. They may want you to use 1 or 255 or something.

Address would look like `[Click_PLC]1.C16385` etc…

I was trying to troubleshoot data type Boolean but for some reason I didn’t get it to work.  
[Click\_PLC]C16385 worked with data type Byte.  
Thank you guys
