We currently have a S7-1200 set in place that collects data for machines. I didn't set this up and wasn't sure of the scheme set. We got sent a plc tag list of different tags and their logical address. I am trying to gather this data in Designer but it either comes back as an error or zero. Here are a few tags I am trying to get: |Path|Data Type|Logical Address| |Default tag table|Bool|%M0.0| |Default tag table|Int|%MW2| |Default tag table|Int|%MW4| |Default tag table|Int|%MW6| |Default tag table|Bool|%M0.1| |Default tag table|Int|%MW8| |Default tag table|Int|%MW10| |Default tag table|Int|%MW12| |Default tag table|Int|%MW14| |Default tag table|Int|%MW16| |Default tag table|Int|%MW18| |Default tag table|Date|%MW20| |Default tag table|Time\_Of\_Day|%MD24| |Default tag table|Time\_Of\_Day|%MD28| |Default tag table|Real|%MD32| |Default tag table|Real|%MD36| I have tried entering [name]Mw2 and it comes back zero. I know there is data based on the dashboard. ---

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Siemens#Siemens-AddressSyntax](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Siemens#Siemens-AddressSyntax) Will show the proper siemens tag addressing. ---

Thanks, I have seen that. I am not sure how to use that with my table though. I don't see MD or MW? ---

`M` is the area, `D` and `W` are data types. ---

Thank you. Is there a data type that translates from Siemen's 'real' to Ignition? ---

The Ignition tag type would be Float.
