Create generic I/O module

For certain controllers, you cannot use the EDS file provided by Siemens. In these cases,
you must create a generic I/O module in the control system for the cyclic communication.
Procedure
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. In your control, create a generic device with Ethernet/IP functionality.
2. In the control, enter the lengths for the process data for cyclic communication in the new
device, which you have selected in STARTER, r2067[0] (input), r2067[1] (output), for
example: Standard telegram 2/2.
3. In STARTER, set the same values for IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and
name of the station as in the control system.
You have created a generic I/O module for cyclic communication with the inverter.
Further, you can find a detailed description of how to create a generic I/O module at the
