EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet Information
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
Files
EDS files are specially formatted ASCII files that provide all of the
information necessary for a configuration tool (for example, RSNetWorx™ for
EtherNet/IP) to access and alter the parameters of a device. The EDS file
contains all the parameter information of a device: number of parameters,
groupings, parameter name, min, max, and default values, units, data format
and scaling. The EDS file for the EtherNet/IP communication auxiliary
module is available from the Internet at www.ab.com/networks/eds/
index.html. You can also obtain it from the EtherNet/IP communication
auxiliary module’s internal web page.
