< Design conditions >
- PLC is Sending 1 Sing Tag
- Must be able to distinguish 1,300 alarms and display them in AML
- Zenon also needs use the minimum number of tags: Far Least than 1300 

I am currently designing a project using Zenon 12, but I am encountering a problem.

I intend to receive 1,300 alarms from the PLC via OPC UA communication. Since there are many tags, I want to recieve them as a single analog tag.

Based on the design structure, receiving the data as DWORD or WORD is more stable, but the PLC insists on sending it as a single tag.

Therefore, I am planning to receive the data as STRING and perform bit decomposition. Is this feasible to implement?

I'm looking forward to reply. Thanks
