There is scarce documentation or how-tos on how to control an ABB motor controller with LabVIEW via a RETA-01 and Eithernet IP. I have attached a couple of screen shots and would appreciate a little nudge or shove in the right direction.
Very little translates well from the LV ethernet IP vi and the attribute document from the RETA-01.
Where else can I find more adequate and appropriate documentation?
Thanks in advance.

Doing a search with the terms "RETA-01 LabVIEW" brought out a number of articles, including one recommending using LabVIEW's ModBus tools. This is way outside my area of expertise (though I do use TCP/IP, namely Network Streams), but you might find some helpful information ...

I did spend a good part of a day Googling my problem before I posted here. I got one set of VIs working with simple data in/out via ethernet IP Get and Set Attribute signal vis but now we need to move into Classes, instances and attributes, ID#. Like I said this doesn't translate well at all into what I am doing now. Most of it is jibberish I've never heard of before.
