CONFIGURATION OF DEVICENET OPTIONAL BOARD
4. CONFIGURATION OF DEVICENET
OPTIONAL BOARD
Once the board has been connected to the inverter, this one can be
configured by using the software PE 1.2 Version 0.3 and upper
versions.
Board configuration can be divided in two parts. First, installation of the
EDS file by using a configuration software of DeviceNet network; then,
parameter setting of the group COM (communications) related to
DeviceNet from the inverter itself.
4.1. EDS File
One EDS file is supplied with the kit of DeviceNet optional board.
The EDS files are specially formatted ASCII files. They are text files
that must be interpreted by the configuration software. These files
supply all the information necessary for a configuration tool (software),
to access and modify the parameters of a device.
The EDS file contains information about the numbers of parameters in
a device and how those parameters are grouped together. Information
about each parameter is contained in this file such as minimum,
maximum and default parameter values, parameter data format and
scaling, and the parameter name and units.
Install the EDS file for the SD450 inverter supplied with the kit, to
control the inverter parameters. For this, use a DeviceNet configuration
software.
