If the tag begins with a ' or a /, the tag is ignored.
Important! Initialize the first table element (at Index 0) last (because 
a blank string in Index 0 tells the driver that the
string table has not yet been initialized).

To refresh the tag list, go to the Ignition 's Gateway Configure tab , and select System > Modules. In the Cirrus Link Solutions section, restart the Opto 22 SNAP PAC Driver module. When prompted, click Confirm.
Note: The tag names displayed in Ignition will be different but easily recognizable.
To browse tag values:
From the Ignition 's Gateway Configure tab: Select OPC Connections > Quick Client, and then expand the folders to find the tags from the Opto 22 device's tags.

From Ignition Designer's Design Mode: In the menu bar, click View > Panels, and then select OPC Browser. In the OPC Browser panel, expand the folders to find the Opto 22 device's tags.

...

TIP: If you can't find a tag, check the following:
* The strategy is running in PAC Control.
* You correctly entered the tag name in the stPublicListOfStrategyTags table.
* After making changes to the table, you restarted the Driver module in Ignition and waited for its status to change to Connected.
For more information, see the Ignition Gateway’s Logs (Status tab > Diagnostics > Logs).

If your device's status doesn't change to "Connected" after you've restarted it in Ignition Gateway (Configure tab > System > Modules), make sure:
* Element 0 in the stPublicListOfStrategyTags table is not blank (or empty).
* The network configuration of both the OPC-UA device and the Opto 22 device are valid.
* The Opto 22 device is powered up, connected to the network, and the host task is assigned to TCP/IP port 22001.
* Your Windows PC is connected to the network and operating normally.
