If you need an EDS file for any of these controllers, following download it from IAI’s website.

Using Omron’s configurator
1. Install the EDS file in the configurator.
On an X-SEL controller, the EDS file is installed under the name “AnyBus-S DeviceNet” in
the “Communications Adapter” subfolder located in the “HMS Fieldbus Systems AB” folder.
On an RCS-C, E-Con or SCON-C controller, the EDS file is installed under the name “RCS-C-
DV,” “ECON-C-DV” or “S-CON-C-DV,” respectively, in the “Generic Device” subfolder
located in the “IAI Corporation” folder.
On an ASEL, PSEL, or SSEL, the EDS file is installed under the name “IAFD3803” (same for
all five models) in the “Generic Device” subfolder located in the
“IAI Corporation” folder.
2. Build and set up a network using the configurator.
On an X-SEL controller, use the EDS file to perform the necessary settings.
On an RCS-C, E-Con or SCON-C controller, 16 input points and 16 output points (fixed) are set
as remote I/Os. It is also possible to set I/Os offline and then upload the settings. If the I/Os
of the applicable device are fixed, uploading different settings will automatically set a number
of bytes that can be used to store I/O property information.
[Setting for X-SEL, TT, ASEL, PSEL and SSEL controller ]
(1) For an X-SEL, TT, ASEL, PSEL and SSEL controller use the EDS file to set the number of bytes
to be used to store I/O property information.
The number of bytes should correspond to the available I/O ports set by the applicable I/O
parameters.
If the EDS file has been installed in a PC, the necessary settings can be done offline and
then uploaded.
(2) After the settings are complete, open the parameter window in the master (PLC). The applicable
device should be found in the unregistered device list. Register the device in the registered device
list.
(Note) Whether or not to select “Enable automatic assignment upon registration” should be
determined in accordance with the assignment method selected for the entire system.
(3) If automatic assignment is not enabled at the time of registration, drag the registered device and
insert it in the first address of the bytes to be used for I/O assignment. The byte addresses to be
used will be assigned automatically. You can also select the edit function to specify the first
address.
Repeat this process to set byte addresses for both inputs and outputs.
(4) Download the settings to the PLC.
(5) The X-SEL controller has been registered in the DeviceNet system (master PLC). Perform a final
check to confirm that all settings are correct.
