ControlLogix Keyence Ethernet/IP

I'm attempting to establish implicit communications using a 1756-L71 as the Scanner and a Keyence KV-5500 as the Target. Keyence defines a connection as Input Only and configurable size. I was successful in connecting an Omron NJ501 as the Scanner using the Keyence EDS file. Omron displays the defined connection after importing the EDS file. I imported the EDS file using Rockwell's EDS Hardware Installation Tool. Upon creating the module in Studio 5000 I'm unable to see the connection that Keyence defines.

Is there a Rockwell setting that I'm missing? Is there an alternative to importing the EDS file? I don't have RSNetworx installed. Is it worth trying?

Second question. The defined connection in the Keyence is an implicit Input Only as opposed to Exclusive Owner. I can choose Tag type or Instance ID type. If I attempt this with the ControlLogix GENERIC ETHERNET module, How can I set it to Input Only?
