USING EDS FILE METHOD
SELECTING THE PROPER EDS FILE
The first step is to select the proper EDS file based upon the firmware version of your ConveyLinx-Ai2 modules. Our
Pulseroller.com website contains all EDS files for download including older versions. The following chart lists
firmware version, operation mode, and EDS file cross-reference information:
Please note that there may be updates since publication of this document. Please go to
pulseroller.com to download the latest versions of EDS files when available.
For best results, you should remove any previous Ai2 EDS file(s) you may
have installed in your RSLogix 5000 environment before
version described in this section.
Also, delete all unused module data types from your program especially
if you are modifying or starting with an existing program
Installing the EDS file provided by Insight Automation into your RSLogix 5000 environment will allow you to select
the Ai2 module from your list of known devices without having to use the Generic Ethernet Module method. The
EDS file contains the Instance and size parameters so you do not have to fill in this information. When you connect
to an Ai2 module, the data is arranged in assembled registers as described in the ConveyLinx-Ai2 PLC Developer’s
Guide publication with the data appearing in your Controller Tags similarly to how the data appears when you
connect to an Ai2 module as a Generic Ethernet Module.
