FactoryTalk Historian SE - SLC500. Binary file..

[Nova5]

How can I read individual binary bits from a SLC500 within FTH SE? With the Tag Browser I can get to the Binary Files and get each Integer from it, but how Can I get to the individual bit level? I don't see a way yet how to achieve it.

Example.. B13 has 48 bits.
B13:0
B13:1
B13:2

How can I get to B13:0/1, B13:1/8, etc..

You cannot browse to the bit level but you can type in yourself.

Do you know where I would type that? I've not been able to get it to accept such attempts in various places. FTAdmin Console? If there where in it.. the Tag Browser only allows the root of the binary file to be selected, and I've yet to get it to let me modify the path it generates.

Thanks Ken. I'll see if I can make this work in FactoryTalk Historian. OPC HDA has so far refused to allow such.

I have been able to use similar with PLC-5 bits to FT Historian.
