FLIR Systems Object Model version 1.22
EtherNet/IP Add-on Profiles
The RSLogix5000 Programming Tool from Rockwell Automation uses EtherNet/IP EDS files to understand the Object Model of an
EtherNet/IP device. The EDS file describes what data is contained in the messages received from the EtherNet/IP device and what data it
should send to the EtherNet/IP device. The addition of an EDS file to the standard RSLogix5000 device library is called an Add-on Profile by
Rockwell Automation.
EDS files can be loaded into the RSLogix5000 programming tool in one of two ways. EDS files from vendors which are not highly integrated
with Rockwell Automation are loaded manually. EDS files from vendors which are highly integrated with Rockwell Automation, like Flir, are
automatically loaded and available with the more recent versions of RSLogix5000.
