RSNetWorx On-line with
Found Devices

Figure 3.1 shows node address 1 with a question mark on its

icon, indicating that this device has not yet been registered in

RSNetWorx. At this point the user may register an existing

EDS file or create one. Both options are addressed in the fol-

lowing sections.

Registering the D8 without an EDS File

This section assumes the user does not have an EDS file from

Watlow for the D8 controller but needs to get the unit up and

running anyway.
To register the device without the Watlow EDS file:
1. Double-click the device with a question mark.
2. Proceed through the prompts to create an EDS file.
3. Select the polled method (Master/Slave) and then enter

the number of input and output bytes. See Table 3.1.
