PLC Setup using EDS files

Overview
An EDS file is a device description file in a specified format. The format must conform to the
ControlNet™ Trade Organization (CTO) guidelines. Contact Siemens customer service for
EDS files.
Each device on the ControlNet™ network must have an EDS file. The EDS file provides all
relevant data associated with a specific device for use by the configuration tool.
● To communicate with the drive, you must configure the ControlNet™ master to have 136
input bytes and 136 output bytes.

'ControlNet Header' (9956) to "On".
4. Set parameter 'Velocity Units' (9080) to the desired motor speed units for motor
commanded speed and motor feedback speed scaling.
5. Where necessary, set parameter 'Demand Scalar' (9912) to:
n x commanded speed where –125 % to 125 %
