10.5 Configuration steps for a Rockwell control with EDS support
The following steps are necessary for commissioning with a Rockwell control:
• Creation of the EtherNet/IP participants in PLC software RSLogix 5000 from version 20.00 and up
(with EDS support).
• Installation of the EDS file using the EDS wizard.
• Setting the parameters of the BCL 358
i
via the configuration assembly or
webConfig.
10.5.1 Integrating the hardware into the PLC and installing the EDS file
To integrate the device and to establish a connection between the PLC and the device BCL 358
i
, proceed
as follows:
• First, load the EDS file for the device via EDS wizard into the PLC database.
• After it has downloaded, select the device from the device list.
• Open the input dialog for setting the address and additional parameters by double-clicking on the
device symbol and make the desired entries here. Under Change, define the combination of input
and output assemblies.

• Finally, transmit the values to the control via download.
10.6 EDS file - general info
The EDS file contains all identification and communication parameters of the device, as well as the avail
-
able objects. PLC software RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell offers EDS support for EtherNet/IP from software
version 20.00 and up.
The BCL 358
i
is uniquely classified via a class 1 identity object (component of the BCL358i.eds file) for the
EtherNet/IP scanner. 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.
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.
