I manually register my databaseand. there was no library in the series of Siemens S7-1200.

 I have those AB modules in my database because I or another coworker added them to the library. I could export the tables from my plc mdb file but you would have to be familiar with MS Access and have it installed on your computer in order to import. The other  problem with doing it this way is, we use a customized PLC style that may not work with your symbols.

 At some point you may need another module that no one has, in which case you'll have to add it yourself. I'd like to encourage you to get familiar with adding modules. AutoDesk has a wiki website that has good help for adding to your PLC database. http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/AutoCAD_Electrical/enu/2012/Help/0643-PLC643/0646-Overview646

Probably the best way is, from the PLC editor, copy a module that is close and then modify it. That way you are not starting with a blank page and wondering what goes where.
