PLC = AB SLC 5/05 MMI = AD C-more touch Hello, this is probably a simple question for someone on here. I'm working on using a C-more touch to read a string of text stored in the PLC. The address in the PLC is ST16:1, but on the c-more side I only see S for data type selection and will only allow me to enter as S:16 Isn't the S file the status file in the PLC? I have 3 strings I need to display with the address ST16.1, S16.2 and S16.3. Am I using the wrong data type on the c-more side? Thanks, Dave

"Am I using the wrong data type on the c-more side? "
Yes, from the help file it looks like ST files are not supported. Do you have enough memory to create another Integer file for storing your strings? Looks like Cmore could then use a string from that N file.

Hey, thanks for the quick response!
The longest string I have is 26 characters including spaces. Memory shouldn't be a problem. But storing text in an intiger file? How does this work?
Thanks again.
