Good Morning. I'm migrating an old PB32 application onto Factory Talk View Studio (A PV+ 1000) so we get improved alarm logging. The PLC is an SLC500 and the problem I am having is that within the PLC there is quite a lot of text data stored in 'N' files. I've set up my string tag to read 6 characters from, say, N50:21, but on the screen I get '??????' displayed. I've tried not using a tag and just accessing N50:21 directly to my object, but then I get the first two bytes (because I've not specified a read length) represented as a number instead of the implied ascii, ie 12345 instead of '09'. PB32 coped with this no problem, and as I can't find any reference to this I suspect Factory Talk does but I'm being daft. The PLC is running an assembly line in a car plant so I can't add 'A' type data files in as reloading the PLC isn't really an option. Advice please!
