EtherNet/IP Information
Electronic Data Sheets
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files are specially formatted ASCII files that provide
all of the information necessary for a configuration tool (e.g., 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 E1 Plus EtherNet/IP Module is available from the
Internet at www.ab.com/networks/eds/index/html
. It can also be built
automatically by some configuration tools since all of the information necessary
for an EDS file may be extracted from the E1 Plus EtherNet/IP Module.
