Integration using an EDS file
Common configuration tools can import an EDS file for integration of the WI180C-EN
into the Ethernet/IP™ network.
The EDS file for the WI180C-EN is available for download from www.sick.de (WI180C-
EN EDS file).
Refer to your configuration tool's documentation for how to import the file into your sys‐
tem.
Prerequisites
•
You are using an Allen Bradley control system with “RSLogix 5000” control soft‐
ware V22 or higher (or another control that facilitates integration using an EDS
file).
•
The WI180C-EN has an IP address (
see "IP address of the WI180C-EN",
).
•
The EDS file has been integrated into the control software using the Rockwell
Hardware Installation Tool.

IP address of the WI180C-EN
The IP address of the WI180C-EN can be assigned as follows:
•
Static allocation
•
Via BOOTP
•
Via DHCP
Static allocation
Using the TCP/IP object, a fixed IP address can be configured via the control. To do so,
an initial connection must be established via the default address (192.168.0.1).
Assigning the IP address via BOOTP or DHCP
If your control has a BOOTP or DHCP server, you can assign an IP address to the
WI180C-EN via this server.
