For the logix driver, simply make an OPC tag with addressing to the bit level. Put the item path you see in the Studio 5000 tag monitor directly into an Ignition OPC item path in an OPC tag, after the bracketed device name. Like so: `[SomeDevice]FV5003_HOA.HOA.HMIbits[0].15` BTW: That looks like a common PlantPax AOI. You should be aware of the performance issues you may encounter with those: > [@Automation Professionals' EtherNet/IP Communication Suite V2](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-ethernet-ip-communication-suite-v2/68190): > > Automation Professionals is pleased to announce its latest EtherNet/IP Communications Suite driver module, a major upgrade to its EtherNet/IP Class1 Communications module, as a Public Beta. As of April 15, 2023, this is now a Production Release. The primary new feature is its new Generic EtherNet/IP Client Driver, a drop-in replacement for IA's Logix V21+ driver and its Omron NJ/NX driver. It does work with older Logix processors, and also works with Rockwell's MicroLogix 8xx family (ethernet… { /shameless plug } --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-can-i-get-the-value-of-a-specific-bit-in-the-boolean-representation-of-a-int/71974)._
