5 EDS‐FILE
To assist users in configuring the Polled I/O communication, an Electronics Data Sheet (EDS) file will be provided. Each
type DeviceNet instrument should have its own EDS‐file with instrument specifications to tell the master configuration
software which facilities/features the instruments/slaves offer to the master. For Bronkhorst meter/controller the file
is called: BHT_DMFC.EDS. This file is available on the Multibus documentation/software tool CD.
This EDS‐file is a text‐file containing:
Identification info:
 Model name:
“Bronkhorst meter/controller”
 Vendor name:
“Bronkhorst High‐Tech B.V.”
 Vendor ID: 706
Setting info:
 IO Characteristics section, contains available polled I/O combinations (IO Assembly Instances)
 Parameter section, the configuration software uses this section to generate a dialog box where the user can enter
instrument parameters for customising (see paragraph 2.5.2).
After starting‐up your master configuration software, this EDS‐file should be load/import/copied. This is needed only
once (until a eventual next revision from the file).
