PLC Setup using EDS files

Overview
An EDS file is a device description file in a specified format. The format must conform to the
ODVA guidelines. Contact Siemens customer service for EDS files.
Each device on the DeviceNet™ network must have an EDS file. The EDS file provides all
relevant data associated with a specific device for use by the configuration tool.
The EDS file provides an option for more than 136 bytes of input and output; however, the
drive only uses up to 136 bytes of input and output. If the configuration tool cannot
accommodate 136 bytes, you can modify the I/O Size, until the correct quantity of input and
output bytes are selected:
● To communicate with the drive, you must configure the DeviceNet™ master to have the
same quantity of bytes that are set by parameter 'Network 1 I/O Size' (9951) or 'Network
2 I/O Size' (9952).
8.4.6 Network Setup Procedure
Note
Setup functions are contained in the Configure Parameters Menu (9902), which is a submenu
of the Communications Menu (9).
Access is security-controlled at level 7; you must enter the security code to access these
parameters.
Refer to the
and codes.
Use the following procedure to complete network setup. Refer to Table
Menu (9902) in Section Parameter Assignment/Addressing for the menus needed to complete
setup.
Procedure
1. Select a protocol using parameter 'Network 1 Type' (9901). Scroll to "DeviceNet" and press
[ENTER]. The DeviceNet™ configuration parameters are viewable.
2. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Baud Rate' (9905); this must match the baud rate of the PLC
controller.
3. Set parameter 'DeviceNet Address' (9908) to the desired network address for the drive.
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 %
6. Set parameter 'Aux Demand Scalar' (9913) if used.
