Using a Slave with an EDS File
This section explains how to use another company’s Slave when there is an
EDS file available.
The Configurator’s “Install EDS File” command is used to install EDS files in the
Configurator. Installing a Slave’s EDS file enables the Configurator to properly
identify the Slave, display information about the Slave, and make settings.

1. Select “File” from the menu bar.
2. Select “Install EDS File” from the File menu. A window will be displayed to
select the EDS file.
3. Select the desired EDS file and click on “Open” to install the file.
When a Slave’s EDS file has been installed, its device parameters can be edited
like an OMRON Master Unit’s Master parameters by bringing up the “Edit Device
Parameters” window.
Note This command can be used only on other companies’ Slaves which have had an
EDS file installed. The “Device Parameters Setup” command in the Tool menu
must be used for another company’s Slave which doesn’t have an EDS file. See
Setting the Device Parameters on page 91 for details.
