Wonderware Intouch troubles. No so wonderful.

Where are you going to set the Access Name in Intouch?
I cannot find the setting anywhere.

It's found in WindowMaker. Go to the Special Menu, then select "Access Names"; it's about six choices down, right below the Tagname Dictionary. A popup will come up; if you're creating a new Access Name, click the "add" button. Then fill out info from there.

When you create a tag that's an I/O tag, you'll be asked what Access Name the tag comes from. Then you need to provide the tag's address; in the case of Modbus, it'll be the register's address (40035 for a holding register, for example).

I would suggest starting with a single discrete bit and make sure that is working. Then, go to an INT and then finally, a REAL.

If you're trying to access a REAL, you'll need to add 'F' to the end of the address so tell InTouch that it needs to grab the consecutive address for the full 32 bits, otherwise you'll have REALLY bizarre looking data.

Hope this works!

I figured it out. Thank you so much for the help.

I was attempting to connect through the remote management settings which was incorrect. Instead, I needed to just connect at run time using the MOTCP driver and the Station ID: <IP address>:502, along with the correct I/O Address for whichever coil I wanted to assign a tag to.
