Joel3 Posts: 2 Rating: (0)	I am using the Ingear drivers for visual studio with my S7300 PLC and TIAV13. In the driver documentation, it says that a Data Block item needs to be referenced in the following format: [code]DB<num>.<data block type><address>[/code] So far the only information I have is: [code]DB1.DBS<address>[/code] The software displays the address like this: [code]DB1.???[/code] Is there a way to find the address of a string on this PLC, or am I going about this the wrong way? I have already attempted to contact support for the Driver, and they haven't been any help. Attached is a screenshot of what the strings look like in the DB. Thank you, -Joel Attachment screen1.jpg (323 Downloads)

	Keep it simple and on-topic. A simple straight-to-the-point answer is often of more quality than a complicated one.
