152  EtherNet/IP – Start-up    
 EDS files
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files specify the properties of the 
device for the EtherNet/IP client. The client identifies the device by 
means of the product code, device type and major revision 
attributes. 
To enable the use of different ABB drive types on the same 
EtherNet/IP network, a unique product code has been given to 
each drive type and application combination.
EDS files are available from the Document library 
(www.abb.com/drives)
.
Note: Only one EDS file with the same EtherNet/IP product code 
can be installed in the PLC at a time.
