How to add ProSoft RS485 MODBUS module (ILX34 MBS485) in Logix5000?

I didnt have this module in selection list?

It doesn't show up for me, either.  When I worked with their gateway modules before, I found their YouTube videos very helpful.  Do they have one for this module?

I created a project using an L16 in both RSLogix 5000 v 20 and Studio v28 and the module appears for me.  Of course I added it as a child of the Ethernet.

The manual says the ILX34 is generally used for L1x processors.  Make sure of processor type of the project and the version firmware and software.

Hmmmm.....it won't show up for me in v24, but there may be an AOP or something I don't have installed.

In their downloads, there is an AOI, EDS and manual.

Just for giggles, I created a Studio project with an L30ER and got shoices for v23 thru 28.  So I created it at v24 to match, Joe and the ILX appeared.

I'm not surprised, really.  I have a bunch of Prosoft modules show up, but not that one.  I'll have to install the AOP if we ever need to use it.
