LS Electric iX7 Drive - Help with creating the proper xml file and driver

First, does there need to be a ix7.c and ix7.h file? Second, the xml file downloaded from the vendor is really long. I assume most everything is not needed for LCNC. Can someone help me understand which parts of the xml are required to make a properly formatted xml for LCNC. Then, if the .c and .h files are required can someone help me understand which parts of the current drivers can I cut and paste to create a properly formatted driver. If I understand correctly the .c pulls the xml to create the proper hal pins. Or must I also create the custom hal to match the other 2. The details are not clear enough to really understand the scope of what is required to fully incorporate a new ethercat device not already listed. Please see the attached full xml from the OEM LS Electric. I assume this will help many others as these drives are pretty affordable and always available at automationdirect. Thanks in advance.

The files are too large to attach. So please see the link here to download>>>
