DeviceNet EDS Files 5-2
EDS Files in General
A CD-ROM (CD.AFD7.01) containing Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files for the Drive is included with each
DeviceNet Option Board. Alternatively, the EDS files can be downloaded from
www.drives.com . The EDS files
are used together with a DeviceNet Network Configuration tool, i.e. Rockwell Software RSNetWorx™.
DeviceNet Network Configuration tools are used to configure all nodes on a DeviceNet network. Network
Configuration tools provide the ability to upload data from a device and download data to a device. The EDS
files provide the Network Configuration tool with the following information:
• Description of each device parameter
• Maximum and Minimum values for each device parameter
• Default values for each device parameter
• Read / Write access for each device parameter
• Help Information for each device parameter
• Vendor ID of the device
• Device Type of the device
• Product Code of the device
• Revision of the device
Each device on the network has the following values assigned to it:
1. Vendor ID
2. Device Type
3. Product Code
4. Revision
5. Serial
Number
The Network Configuration tool will read these values from the device. When using EDS files, the tool will
compare the values of Vendor ID, Device Type, Product Code, and Revision that were read from the device to the
values in the EDS file. They must match.
Note: References to EDS parameter numbers and respective functions could change with Drive firmware
changes.
EDS Files for the Drive
All DeviceNet Option Boards will have a Vendor ID equal to 37. All AC Drive products will have a Device Type
equal to 2. The Drive Product Codes depend on the Drive model. The Product Codes for the Drive are given in
the following table. The Revision can be found on the Option Board processor label of the EPROM, component
