downloading the file from the following website:
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/networks/eds.page
You can install EDS files on your computer by using the EDS Hardware
Installation Tool that comes with RSLinx® Classic software,

Explicit Messaging - Message Setup with CIP Generic
The following example shows how to configure your message instruction to read
from a data table in the power monitor by using a CIP Generic message type for
the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application. This setup applies to
ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ programmable logic controllers. The CIP
Generic message type does not support single element reads or writes. In this
example, we read the Real-time Metering Values (Voltage and Current) data table
from the power monitor.
