Browsing through that thread (I notice you've been on there as well, Simen), I saw that @pturmel and @jlandwerlen managed to get a direct driver to work as long as Emulate was v32 or higher: > [@OPC to Emulate, still looking for answers](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/opc-to-emulate-still-looking-for-answers/80088/43): > > @pdixon, I know your question is about making OPC connections to RS Emulate, but I'm going to answer the question about making native Ignition driver connections to RS Emulate. Reviewing my first comment in this topic, I am happy to report that I was wrong. Necessary software, with versions I confirmed to work. Newer versions are expected to work: RSLogix\_Emulate5000 (install folder) aka "Studio 5000 Logix Emulate" (as shown in Control Panel Apps list), v32. FactoryTalk Linx, v6.11 R… If you could get that setup working you'd be in the clear. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/reading-controllogix-string-tags/81375)._
