3.1 Obtain the EDS file

All AMCI EDS files are located on our website at the following address:

http://www.amci.com/industrial-automation-support/configuration-files/

Simply download the ZIP file and extract it to its own directory. The ZIP file contains the EDS text file and a
custom icon file for the device.

3.2 Install the EDS file

3.2.1 Start the EDS Hardware Installation Tool

1) Once Studio 5000 is running, in the menu bar select

Tools



. This will open

the EDS Wizard.

Many EtherNet/IP platforms support the use of EDS files to simplify the addition
and configuration of devices. This chapter covers the installation and use of the
EDS file for systems that are programmed with Rockwell Automation Studio 5000
version 20 and above. Other systems will follow a similar pattern. Consult your
controller’s documentation if you need additional information.

Note: Use of an EDS file is completely optional. The RBE2-8 can always be added
to a system as a generic module. If you are using RSLogix 5000 version 19 and
below, or RSLogix 500, adding the unit as a generic module is the only option
available.

Using the EDS file simplifies configuration and adds named tags for all input and
output data.
