And here are the values:

How to define tag that references an IO message
Select Tag Type as Assembly I/O

When you do, there will be a drop down list of IO messages/tables to select from. Select one that you configured on the device setup panel previously.

You then need to define if this is a single bit or a 16bit word value that you want to read from the IO message and the offset of that bit/word. The offsets are 0 based. A bit value will have both a byte offset and a bit offset into the byte (0..7).

You then specify if tag will be used to read or write the value.

Explicit Messages
You can send Ethernet Explicit messages - message defined by Class/Instance/Attribute using getAttributeSingle/setAttributeSingle Ethernet/IP messages - to get and set values on the device.

Refer to your device manuals for explicit message Class/Instance/Attribute values. Enter the values, then chose whether this tag will be used for getting (getAttributeSingle) and setting the value or setting only (setAttributeSingle). There is a text field where you can enter HEX formatted (2 character, no 0x, spaces OK) string of bytes that should be appended to the message. This is useful if your device requires additional information beyond the Class/Instance/Attribute, otherwise leave this blank.

That covers using the plugin.

Notes:
I have tested with:
Banner Engineering XS26 Safety Controller (IO and Explicit get messages)
SEW MDX61B VFD (IO and Explicit get/set messages)
Rockwell Micro850 Simulator using Connected Components Workbench version 22.00 (Symbolic tags)

Looking for people to test with other devices. Hopefully someone with a Rockwell PLC.
