What This Appendix
Contains
Read this appendix to learn about EDS files and how to unregister and
register them. Additionally, learn how to add devices to the network
(online or offline) using RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
EDS Files
Before you access the DeviceLogix capabilities of a device, you must
have an EDS file registered that supports DeviceLogix functionality.
Use the EDS Wizard in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to register
the EDS file. The EDS file that supports DeviceLogix functionality must
be newer than an existing EDS file for the device, if there is one. For
best results, you should unregister the existing EDS file before
registering the new EDS file.
If your version of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software is earlier than
version 3.0, you must close RSNetWorx software and reopen it for the
changes to take effect.
Unregister EDS files
To unregister an existing EDS file:
1. Open RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
2. Select Tools > EDS Wizard.
