6. In the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) box, set the value to 5.0

milliseconds or greater. This value determines the maximum interval
that a controller should use to move data to or from the module. To
conserve bandwidth, use higher values for communicating with low
priority devices.

7. Click Finish>>. The new node (“AB1305_Drive” in this example)

now appears under the scanner or bridge (“ENet_Scanner” in this
example) in the I/O Configuration folder. If you double-click the
Data Types folder and then double-click on the Module-Defined
folder, you will see that module-defined data types and tags have
been automatically created. After you save and download the
configuration, these tags allow you to access the Input and Output
data of the module via the controller’s ladder logic.
