Select the Monitor Tags tab.

Three tags, "E1Plus:C", "E1Plus:I" and "E1Plus:O", have been added to
represent the three I/O Instances: Configuration, input and output. The
Configuration Instance was created even though its size was configured as
zero. The E1Plus:I tag represents input data, which is data coming from
the E1Plus into the controller (%FLA, %TCU, Trip Status, Warning
Status, etc.). The E1 Plus:O tag represents output data, which is data going
from the controller out to the E1 Plus (Enable Output A, Trip Reset, etc.).

Logix Explicit Messaging

CompactLogix, ControlLogix, and SoftLogix controllers can read and write
specific information to and from the E1 Plus EtherNet/IP Side Mount Module
using Explicit Messaging and the Parameter Object. An example of configuring a
ControlLogix explicit message using the MSG instruction to read the Device
Status parameter data from the E1 Plus EtherNet/IP Side Mount Module is
shown below.
