Trouble with Modbus Addressing within OPCUA Device Connections

After adding the unit (with correct IP) to the OPC Device Connections ( status is connected), I’m finding that no matter what address I put in, the quality is bad or UncertainInitialValue.

Perhaps I’m misinterpreting the manual, but my Item Path Syntax is as follows:

[OPC Connection Name]1.44867

Could my error somehow be with the connection, or is it merely my addressing syntax?

Your modbus addressing syntax is incorrect, try [OPC Connection Name]1.HR4867. Ignition uses prefixes to designate the different address sets. It also allows you to tell it how to interpret multiple registers, like a float (HRFxxxx) or 32 bit integer (HRIxxxx).

Depending on your device you may also need to mess around with the Zero Based Addressing and Reverse Word Order settings in the device connection config to get the correct values.
