Never read the AOI instance (Although IIRC [Phils driver](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-ethernet-ip-communication-suite-v2/68190) does not have the same AOI reading issue, but I may be mistaken)

We make a UDT that is passed in as an In/Out that has only the data we would need to pull into Ignition and go from there.
