Hi there, I am currently working on a project to link very old machine with Ignition V8.1. The machine has old Seimens S5 PLC and we are using Kepware V6.8 to read all data out. Every thing is working there is no mager problem. But client has created proper Kepware tag, meneaing there is a tag description, unit scaling info. The Ignition is using OPC-UA to Kepware. the tag name and value I can get in Ignition but the unit and description is not comming through. is there a way to get these data from Kepware, So I don’t have to recreat all. Thanks ---
