6.2 Configuring the host system (scanner)
To be able to communicate with the communication module, the host (scanner) must be configured
first.
The configuration of EtherNet/IP networks always requires an EtherNet/IP scanner configuration
software (e.g. »RSLogix 5000« from Rockwell) for the host (scanner).
The configuration software is necessary for the programming of controller programs, EtherNet/IP
configuration, real-time execution and diagnostics.
The basic parameters of the communication module are stored in the internal configuration
memory and can be used for node detection by the scanner.
For node detection (fieldbus scan), the corresponding device descriptions of the Lenze device family
are used.
6.2.1 EDS files
Depending on the EtherNet/IP scanner configuration software, the EDS files (Electronic Data Sheet)
may be used for the configuration of the network profile, the communication with the participating
devices and the automatic generation of tags. For this purpose, the EDS files must be imported into
the controller project of the scanner configuration software.
The EDS file required for the configuration can be found in the download area at:

Tip!
From version 20 onwards, Rockwell's »RSLogix 5000« programming software features an
"EDS Hardware Installation Tool" that can be used to ...
• install/import EDS files;
• create EDS files;
• carry out EDS uploads;
• delete EDS files from your controller project.
In »RSLogix 5000«, the dialog for the "EDS Hardware Installation Tool" is self-explanatory
and not described further in this documentation.
