Did you give the braces around the tag a try?

You may want to post the APA file here so we can examine the FT app easier.

Close your application (not FT View) and open the Tools->Application Manager. Select backup application, [next], then select your application, [next], & [Finish]. It will create a backup application file that is used to transfer between development systems.

I was looking over the last PLC5 / PV+ app I worked on and I created internal tags which pointed to addresses in the PLC. In all of the objects connection fields, I had to put braces around the tag.

its a simple test network the plc and the pv+ are the only ones on it

Is the PLC DH+ address set correctly?

Something else to try, is delete the ethernet driver(?) from the runtime tree.

I had an issue recently, where we replaced a PV standard with a PV+ due to a fault screen, and struggled to get comms to work. Not sure why, but deleting the ethernet driver solved the issue, even though I was using Ethernet to transfer the application, the runtime was not required.

This may/may not work for you, but solved the issue for me.
