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 have to be imported

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.
