Bulletin 283 CIP Information
Electronic Data Sheets
Electronic Data Sheets (EDS) files are specially formatted ASCII
files that provide all of the information necessary for a configuration
tool (e.g. RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet™) to access and alter the
parameters of the device. The EDS file contains all of the device
information: number of parameters, groupings, parameter name,
minimum, maximum, and default values, units, data format and
scaling.
EDS files for all the ArmorStart
®
Distributed Motor Controller units
are available from the Internet at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds.
They may also be built automatically by some configuration tools
since all of the information necessary for a basic EDS file may be
extracted from the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller.
