Generally try to use 4 byte numbers (dint,real,dword). They are efficiently transferred without delay.
Text is usually delayed for about 10 seconds, even if text technically is supported. There are some work-arounds to reduce that delay, one we use is to transfer text information as a dword struct, but that involves some customized code at both ends.
Date and Time we have noticed some problems (in the past). Therefore we are always converting to two values, Date dint + Time Dint, during communication.

For AC800M you can write to any variable type supported by the OPC Server. If you can see it, and it's write enabled, then you can write to it.
