Hello,

Im getting `Bad("Bad_NotWritable: The access level does not allow writing to the Node.")` on one tag.

The weird thing is this tag works in another gateway. Same tag path and everything.

Any ideas why this would pop up in one gateway but not another?

Is one of them a remote tag? Service security not allowing remote writes?

No. They are both setup as a device connection in each gateway.

Other tags are working off the same connection.

What driver? What's the address / OPC Item Path?

Both are running the "Allen-Bradley Logix Driver".
