2.4 Participants in the network
When using the CPX terminal as a new network participant for
the first time, the configuration program is to be informed of
certain network properties.
These network properties are integrated into the participant
properties.
2.4.1 Participant properties (EDS file)
The participant properties are predominantly managed by the
configuration program in a list or library, e.g. EDS file (Elec
tronic Data Sheet).
The following options are available for expanding an EDS library:
– Install EDS files
– Enter participant properties manually
– Import participant properties
As soon as the CPX terminal has been registered as a poten
tial network participant, it can be added to a network.
