I’m trying to read REAL value to the tag. In PLC the variable has an address %MW2 which corresponds to Modbus address 12290. Taking into account the offset, I tried the path **[Wago]HRF12291** but I did not get correct value back. When I tried to write from SCADA to PLC, the received value also differed from the sent one. Is there a mistake in the path? Or the path is correct and the value just needs further conversion in a script?

Thank you.

You might need to toggle the “Reverse Word Order” setting.
