Hi Team, I have connected Mitsubishi driver with one of the machine. I am loading CSV file in Ignition and I am able read values. But one tag I am not able read correct tag value which is configured in PLC. All integer value I am getting but string not able to get. Please find below screenshots by PLC side. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/5/d537d452871fc00870ddabe8e6b97fa9537dca35.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/0/20912d7cfa74d08095f123e56e1a6f666020ad75.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/1/e1d5d5feaac3dc2d1c792785eaeb78f559731f8e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/3/a319765144a8d5295b553af6f2e524747a546b0c.png) In Ignition Tag section , tag value is coming numerical. How to set this to string. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/a/7aba27d96c7022a65ea56d86d410df60b64fd8f1.png) Thank you ---

According to the manual: > **[Mitsubishi TCP Driver | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/opc-ua/opc-ua-drivers/mitsubishi-tcp-driver#addressing-in-the-designer)** > > ​ Specifying `D6850` yields the signed 16-bit value, which your tag is configured to then store as a string. You need `D6850` to pick up the null-terminated string starting at offset 6850. ---

Sorry, do we need to do this settings in Ignition tag properties or also in PLC side. ---

On both sides. The protocol doesn't **have** any data types other than the defaults, so both sides have to **agree** to treat those registers as character data. The PLC appears to be treating three consecutive registers as six characters (but not null terminated), so that part is good. Any other multi-word use of registers similarly has to **agree** on both sides. ---
