Import Analog tags from TIA portal into ignition

Ignition
1

Hi,

I’m new to ignition and just going through the inductive university courses.
I’m trying to create a MIMIC on the designer and just playing around with the features with a very basic program I made on TIA portal.
I’m aware that to add a boolean OPC tag I just need to add “[PLCSIM_test]Mx1.0” to the OPC item path. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to add an analog tag such as my timers from TIA portal… I might just be playing around but cant seem to find it in forums or in the manual on what to write for my timer values and other analog values…

ATM im only using the Ignition OPC UA Server as my OPC server.

Thank you in advance!
T.

The addressing of tags is in the docs. A word at MW0 is addressed with [PLCSIM_test]MW0 for example.
Reading of timer values is not supported by S7-1x00 plcs as Ignitions drivers uses a legacy protocol.

Thank you for that heads up on the MW0 chi.

oh really, is that so! Is there a way around this to be able to monitor the timer values of a program at all?
