Hi everyone ,

I am reading long real data from Plc but full value is not coming correct in Ignition. Because I choose real not long real data type.

I wonder if long real is not supported ?

Thank you

Are you using the siemens driver or opc UA ?

If siemens driver the long is not supported yout will need to read it like to real/dint and merge it inside ignition
