How to address a tag with address like this: %MD1168 and the data type is REAL.
The document does not giving any examples, I can address bit, Input Outputs. But real just do not work.
Anybody done it before?

You just put M in front of REAL:
MD1168 --> MREAL1168
ID1168 --> IREAL1168
QD1168 --> QREAL1168
...
