Siemens PLC DB Tags with ignition

Dear Team,

I am currently engaged in a project involving Siemens PLC, and we have encountered a challenge in communicating with PLC tags of various data types within the DB.

We have successfully retrieved values using memory addresses in INT format Like MW0, or MW2.... However, we are seeking assistance with DB Tags. For instance, we require guidance on configuring these tags in Ignition to match the original data types.

Enclosed, please find the attached list of PLC DB Tags. Your expertise on how to configure these tags in Ignition while preserving their data types would be greatly appreciated.

For your information DB Number = 9.
We followed this manual for connecting to the PLC -

Best regards,
