Hi every one,

PLC Modelo AC800 procesador PM866  
I have a tag on plc 32 bits type dint… it has two parts. the first 16 bits are used to alarm(the number indicate the type of alarm), the next 16 bits show the value e.g. current, voltage, vibration. I wonder if ignition could separate on two tags that data.  
best regards

Assuming you already have the 32-bit value in a tag then you can create two expression tags to reference each half:

HighBits expression: `{[~]DIntTag} >> 16`  
LowBits expression: `{[~]DIntTag} & 0xFF`
