MW Adressing in TIA Portal V11 WINCC Flex

[Galaniz]

I am unable to enter an MW tag into the WinCC Flex portion of TIA portal. I can enter a memory bit us %M20.0 for example. But it gives me a syntax error when trying to enter %MW20. Does anyone know the proper sytnax? I have tried MD and MB to see if those would work for Double and Byte and they don't work wither. I also tried MWORD and nothing. If you know how to do this and know where this information is listed, I would much appreciate the advice.

Thanks,
Gabriel

First specify a Data type, INT or WORD, and then specify the address.
If you hit the drop-down arrow next to address field you get a dialog that will guide you.
%MW20 is a valid address.

Thanks a lot!
I knew this of course... I forgot to scroll the screen to see the data type declreation.
