In order to be able to run the gateway on a CANopen field bus, the SWD
gateway's properties must be stored in a description file. This file follows
specific standards for the corresponding field bus and can be loaded into the
PLC programming environment for the field bus master being used.
The EDS file contains all the properties of a gateway in its role as a field bus
module.
This means that new EDS file versions need to be created whenever new I/O
slice modules are released.
Make sure that you are working with the latest version of the standard EDS
files in your PLC programming environment. Check whether there are avail-
able updates for the files at our Download Center
→
It might be necessary to use a newer version of the EDS file in
order to be able to use new XN300 slice modules.
