Once the module has been added to the RSLogix 5000 I/O tree the user must assign
the User Defined Types (UDTs) to the input and output assemblies. The user can
import the required UDTs by right-clicking on User-Defined sub-folder in the Data
Types folder of the I/O tree and selecting Import Data Type. The assemblies are then
assigned to the UDTs with a ladder copy instruction (COP) as shown in the figure
below.
