OPC to Emulate, still looking for answers

by the way, have you ever connected ignition to S7-1500. I am having problems addressing %MD4220 real data type, I cannot find the right way to address it. MD is real.
Thanks

Try [DeviceName]MREAL4220

I've tried the way you suggested, I found my issues, it was not addressing issue. I actually changed attribute of all OBs and FBs De-selected "Optimized block access" for all of them.
I thought It was addressing issue. It was driving me crazy.
Thank you for reply.

Just a quick note, I wanted to Emulate a project that was commissioned with an L72. I converted to Emulate and Ignition recognized the connection and I could browse all tags, but all tags were BAD quality. The CIP connection size under device connection was set to 4000. Emulate doesn't appear to like this. I set back to the default of 500 and the tags started reading. Posting in case this will be helpful for someone else.
