* HOW TO USE THIS SAMPLE
*
* 1. First change the hostNameOrIp to the IP address or host name of your PLC
* 2. Then change the path to be the path to your PLC, see comments below
* 3. Create a new User Defined Type on the processor called CustomUDT
* 4. Add the following members to the type:
* 1. Enabled : BOOL
* 2. UpperLimit : DINT
* 3. LowerLimit : DINT
* 4. RunningValue : REAL
* 5. Over : BOOL
* 6. Under : BOOL
* 5. Create a new tag of type CustomUDT called myCustomUDT
* 6. Run
