Installing the EDS files
If you are want to use Emonitor Online with, or import data from, XM or XM DYN
modules into Emonitor, you must install the latest EDS files for the XM and XM DYN
modules. EDS files are simple text files that are used by network Configuration Tools
such as the Emonitor Online Configuration Utility to describe products so that you can
easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe a product device type, revision,
and configurable parameters.
1. Start the EDS Hardware Installation Tool. Click Start > Program Files > Rockwell
Software > RSLinx > Tools > EDS Hardware Installation Tool.
2. In the EDS Hardware Installation Tool, click Add.
3. Select Register a directory of EDS files.
4. Click Browse, and navigate to the Emonitor program directory and click OK. The
default directory is C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\Emonitor.
You must install RSLinx Classic 3.60 or later before you can install EDS files.
