Hello, I am currently trying to get my string display to show a value (I will provide an example below), but I am struggling to get the value.

So for example:

I have a variable in my parameter file that is #4 = A value from my PLC of '93' (This is a DINT)

I now have a string display to display a message depending on this parameter. Let's say it is {[PLC1]Alarm[#4].Message[0]}

This message, {PLC1]Alarm[93].Message[0]} = 'E-Stop', however I cannot get this string to display in my string display.

Any tips?
