IMPORTANT
For each CIP Generic message (MSG) instruction, you must use both a unique
message file element, for example MG9:0 and a unique extended routing
information file element, for example RIX10:0. The routing information file
element stores not only the path to the destination Kinetix 300 drive IP
address, but also the specific Class/Instance/Attribute settings.
