Hello, I try to connect to the Siemens S7-1500 device via the OPC server. The connection is already established. But I think the tag syntax is not correct. I would like to extract for example the minute data. Please could you check the syntax I am using and check what is wrong? (in the attached print-screens)  
Thank you in advance for your reply.
