RSlogix5000 AB9006-B EIP-Modbus TCP setup?

I have an Anybus AB9006-B EIP to MODBUS TCP X Gateway, I've imported the EDS file and created the module with 16 byte input and 16 byte output.  The issue I'm having is the data tag in the PLC is only showing one BOOL for ConnectionFault bit.  The AB9006-B is configured for 16byte INPUT data and 16byte OUTPUT data, 2 transaction.

I have never used this module before and haven't worked with ModbusTCP devices before either so I'm not sure how to use this, but it seems like there should be 16 input SINT and 16 ouput SINT data for the module

  You should be able to create the module, like below, after importing the EDS file: 

  

  Then you should see the data tags under 'Controller Tags':

  

  You could also use 8 INTs or 4 DINTs.

  My Module definition shows bytes instead of SINT, and it's not changeable.

  That sounds like an RSLogix issue. Can you share a screenshot?

  I just added the device pictured above using RSLogix 33.12 and the EDS file from the product page (https://www.hms-networks.com/p/ab9006-b-anybus-x-gateway-modbus-tcp-client-ethernet-ip-adapter?tab=tab-support).

  Looks like i used the wrong EDS, the one i got form the website the first time is EDS_ABX_ETNM_2P-EIP_2P_V_1_3.eds

  DL the other one and it has all of the data tags.
