Hi, Is there any way to read current status of the MES Interface connection and show it on the screen? Recently I've had a situation when MES Interface wasn't able to reach a SQL Server (there was an error in the diagnostics window), but the "Access error notification setting" bit was 0.

GT Designer doesn't allow me to choose the imported tags with STRING data type, it' grayed out - probably because it accepts the Destination Device only if its data type matches the type selected in the Device Type field (STRING type is not available obviously).  

Hi, I'm looking for help with the string exchanging between GT25 and AB CompactLogix. I'm reading recipe data from SQL via MES interface to the local devices such as GD3000. I want to move the string held in the registers GD3000-3009 (20 characters) to the string tag in the Allen Bradley. The problem is that in the scripting I cannot enter the AB Tag, because when I imported the CSV with the string tags their data type is STRING, and the scripting in GOT accepts only numerical datatypes such as WORD, etc. Has anyone found a way to handle that?
