You can not use TIA Portal symbolic addresses with Ignition’s Siemens driver. Only absolut adresses as described [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Siemens#Siemens-ConfiguringSiemensAddressing) will work.  
We may help you further if you can give us some more details about your problem.

From the manual linked above (did you look at it at all?):  
`INPUT Area Syntax: I`  
Since IW64 is a 16 bit word, it can only be of Datatype  
`Word Syntax:W	Unsigned` or  
`Int Syntax I Signed`  
so if you want it unsigned the address is `IW64`, if you want it signed the address is `II64`.

Same for MD66:  
`FLAGS Area Syntax M` (M is German for Merker, the English word is Flag).  
MD66 is a double word (32 bit), so Datatype can be  
`DWord Syntax: D	Unsigned` or  
`DInt Syntax: DI	Signed` or  
`Real	Syntax: REAL	Signed`  
so valid addresses are `MD66`, `MDI66` or `MREAL66`.

Only you can know what datatype you want.

Also from the manual: `No DataType is specified for Timers`, so T0 is simply `T0`. This only works with S7-300 cpu's, Ignnitions Siemens driver does not support timers for S7-1200 or 1500 cpu's. It is recommended to buy a license for the in build OPC-UA server for this processors instead of using the Ignition driver.
