I have a Click PLC with a Modbus TCP connection with the following MODBUS addresses ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/5/557411dcac114e2e71191fe6692288a81d72499d.jpeg) This goes from DF1 to DF100, where the MODBUSS address increments by 2 the entire way. I tried to make them like this but am getting an error that my modbus value is too high ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/4/d4139fc77323cbd04af902a1356a4a506176ab54.png) What am I doing wrong? Using 8.1.7 ---

Try removing the 4- prefix from your address. 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used as prefixes in some Modbus address notations to indicate the data area to read from. 4 is Holding Register. edit: misspoke, it’s actually 0, 1, 3, and 4 for Coils, Discrete Inputs, Input Registers, Holding Registers. 2 is not used. ---

So I have a new error (progress!). That worked in that it created 100 tags, but none of them are showing the values I expected, so I must have something in my configuration off. Is there a way to delete the addresses I just added so I can try again? Or do I need to delete the device and recreate the connection to try again? ---

You may now have an off-by-one error. Ignition address notation starts from 1, which is 0 on the wire. Some notations actually start at 0. Try toggling the One/Zero-based address setting. If that doesn’t work try it in combination with the Word Order setting. ---

@Kevin.Herron ya did it again. It was the Zero-based addressing option I tried first and that worked for me. ---

Login into your gateway. Then configuration-\>Device Connections-\>Edit your device, then you have to select the checkbox for "Show advanced properties" and it should be there. ---

Years later, thank you Kevin.
