I have a TCP client on my PLC and I am receiving a string from the server. I made a custom string of character length 480 to handle the incoming data (it is often longer then the default 84 character length). I originally had this custom string as a tag within a UDT. Ignition gives a tag error and cannot read if this is the case. I then created a controller tag of this custom string type and Ignition could read the string accurately. The issue is that Ignition cannot write to this custom string. I get the general write error: “Bad; unspecified”. I am using a text area with direct Tag referencing bidirectionally. I need to write to this tag because I am using PLC data and triggers which are used in an Ignition script to create a JSON string.
Try increasing the CIP connection size in the driver settings (assuming you’re using the Logix driver, not the legacy driver).

That worked! Thank you
That should work as well. If it’s not there might be a bug somewhere. What version of Ignition are you using? If not 7.9.8… start there.
