To read strings from a PLC, the frame format has to be configured as BYTE.

Then, for variable mapping using the Link button, the starting address has to be set. The default format Variable length string delimited by\0  is good if the string ends with a byte with a value of 0, or if maximum size is reached.

(The appearance of the configuration dialogs may be different depending on the version.)

Important note  Be careful with the maximum size. It must be set correctly to avoid strings overlapping.
