Let's see if this works.

I see Target Port 801 not found. I'm quite sure TC3 should be set to port 851 in the driver settings

I changed the port number to 851 on the AHMI side. You are right it should have been 851.
I still got the same Error code from before though unfortunately. ADS Error. Attached is capture after port 851 set correctly.

The ADS error is not longer there. I see a couple variables:

.TESTBUTTONSTOP
.TESTBUTTON
.TESTDISPLAY2

Packets 222 and 223 seem to show a successful write of 1 to the variable

I don't remember all the ADS addresses, so I am going to look further into it to decipher the packets.

I went back and looked at my variables. Changed them back to global variables.
I was able to get the variables to read and write with bools that way! Will test further and see if I can read and write other data types next!
Thanks for your help!  ;D 8)

I made a test setup and what I found was that I had to include the global variable file name. My variable name was:

GVL.TestButton

That is what I have found as well.
Thank you!
