Can some one help me figure out where my tag addressing is wrong? I am using ```auto ns=1;s=[Doffer M19 North]DB700,X0.2 ``` here is a screenshot of the DB: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/1/114e17b8424c1a1dea624f2a6ebd20e90631ab28.png) Returning an ERROR for value ---

Hey, It's not immediately clear from the screenshot where the error is coming from. I would recommend reaching out to support and making a ticket so we can take a closer look. Here's a link to our support portal: [https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us). I'm curious if your other values from the bits around it (i.e. 0.0, 0.1 and 0.3) work. Is the error you're seeing isolated to DB700,X0.2? If not, do other values from this device in other datablocks work? Additionally, if you edit the tag in the designer and look at the tag diagnostics, is there a more verbose error message? This would be good information to add to both this post and a support ticket if you decide to submit one. ---

Address should be `DB41,X100.0` (not `IX`). ---

Ah, ok. Thank you.

ConfigError when the syntax is correct is almost always because you don't have PUT/GET and/or full access enabled. Changing these requires both software and hardware compilation/download. It can also happen when you try to read beyond the end of a data block, but it looks like you're online and that address exists. > **[Siemens | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/opc-ua/opc-ua-drivers/siemens#considerations-for-1200-and-1500-devices)** > > The Siemens drivers in Ignition support basic connections to S7 devices. Ignition connects to these PLCs via TCP/IP using the S7 protocol. Similar to Modbus and some Allen Bradley connections, the Siemens S7 devices do not support tag browsing. You... ---
