Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
EtherNet/IP devices have electronic data sheets (EDS). These are specially
formatted text files, as defined by the CIP™ Specifications, which represent the
object model of the device. EDS files contain details about the readable and
configurable parameters of the EtherNet/IP device. They also provide
information about the I/O connections the device supports and the content
of the associated data structures. EDS are used by EtherNet/IP device
configuration tools, such as RSNetWorx™ for EtherNet/IP, and data servers
such as RSLinx® Classic.
EDS files for all ArmorStart EtherNet/IP devices can also be uploaded directly
from the device via the web server interface. Rockwell Automation product EDS
files are also available on the internet at: http://www.ab.com/networks/eds.
Fault Diagnostics
Fault diagnostics capabilities built in the ArmorStart Distributed Motor
Controller are designed to help you pinpoint a problem for easy troubleshooting
and quick re-starting.
Protection Faults
Protection Faults are generated when potentially dangerous or damaging
conditions are detected. Protection Faults are also known as “Trips.”
