I saw a post where a person got an integer for the Data part.  
Then they said they use GetBit(), but it was in 2013.  
Didn't see how to do it in a tag either.

What are my options to get these bits to tags?

I guess I am going to try using expression bindings.  
`getBit({BitTag}, 0)`

You have to enter the bit address manually. Should work after that.

You can drag the integer OPC item to make a new tag, then edit the new tag to:

- Give it a meaningful name, then

- Change the type to boolean, and

- Add the `.0` suffix to the OPC Item Path. (Or whatever other bit you need.)
