EDS file - general info
An EDS file (Electronic Data Sheet) is provided for the AMS 355
i
.
The EDS file is named "AMS355i.eds"; the corresponding icon is named "AMS355i.ico"
Both files can be downloaded at the Leuze homepage www.leuze.com.
The EDS file contains all identification and communication parameters of the device, as well
as the available objects.
The AMS 355
i
is uniquely classified via a class 1 identity object (component of the
AMS355i.eds file) for the DeviceNet scanner (master).
The identity object contains, among other things, a manufacturer-specific Vendor ID, as well
as an ID that describes the principle function of the participant.
The AMS 355
i
has the following identity object (class 1):
Vendor ID: 524
Dec
./ 20C
H
Device type: 34
Dec
/ 22
H
(identifies the AMS 355
i
as an "encoder")
Position sensor type: 8
Dec
/ 8
H
(specifies the AMS 355
i
as an "absolute encoder")
The types of communication access to the data of the AMS 355
i
described by the ODVA:
• Polling
• Cyclic
• Combinations of polling and cyclic
are supported by the AMS 355
i
.
Attention!
Communication access via change of state is not implemented and must not be activated in
the network configuration.
If accepting the objects without change, all parameters are set to default values. The default
settings are shown in the objects described in detail in the "Default" column.
An assembly is activated by default in the EDS file. The assembly automatically communi
-
cates its inputs and outputs to the control. Further information on the assemblies can be found
in Chapter 9.6.5 and Chapter 9.6.1.
Attention!
The Rockwell control offers the possibility of activating the Configuration Recovery function.
This stores the parameters defined in the EDS file in the control. If necessary, an automatic
parameter download from the control to the
AMS 355
i
takes place.
Leuze recommends activating "Configuration Recovery". This stores all parameters in the
control.
