Electronic Data Sheets Electronic data sheet (EDS) files are simple text files that are used by network
configuration tools, such as RSNetWorx™ software, version 3.0 or later, to help
you identify products and easily commission them on a network. The EDS
files describe a product device type, product revision, and configurable
parameters on a DeviceNet network.
The EDS files for the XM modules are installed on your computer with the
XM configuration software. The latest EDS files can also be obtained at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds or by contacting your local Rockwell
Automation representative.
See your DeviceNet documentation for instructions on registering the EDS
files.
ADR for XM Modules Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) is a feature of an Allen-Bradley
DeviceNet scanner. It provides a means for replacing a failed device with a new
unit, and having the device configuration data set automatically. Upon
replacing a failed device with a new unit, the ADR scanner automatically
downloads the configuration data and sets the node address.
ADR can be used with XM modules but keep these considerations in mind
when setting up the XM modules:
IMPORTANT We recommend that ADR is not used in safety-related applications. If the
failure of the ADR server, and a subsequent power cycle, would result in the
loss of protection for a machine, then do not implement ADR.
