Dear Alex, The tags I am browsing are CBP, but I can only browse upto block level but the blocks parameters are not showing in OPC configurator and not even in Matrikon Explorer. When I add new block or compound in database using ICC, its showing in the OPC tag browser but parameters are not showing so I can not select any parameter. And when try to add the same tag which is reading good in OPC explorer by it alias name (01LTF_CWS.GB534_STAIND) using the item path (11AW70\01LTF_CWS:GB534.STAIND) its gives error; "The item definition does not exist in the server's address space" Thanks.
