3.2.3 DeviceNet participant features (EDS file)

EDS variants
EDS for CTEU-DN
3-10
To configure the CTEU-DN bus node, an Electronic Data Sheet
(EDS) containing all product-specific data and characteristics
of the bus node accessible via the network is available: The
EDS is therefore also referred to as the device description file.
The characteristics and functions described in the EDS file are
summarised under the term DeviceNet participant character-
istics.
DeviceNet participant characteristics can also be configured
manually, without installing an EDS file ("enter").
All characteristics of the DeviceNet participants are usually
contained in an EDS library in the controller software.
The individual network participants are configured via a
standard EDS or a modular EDS:
– A standard EDS contains all the required information
across the entire installation system e.g. the bus node
and corresponding valve terminal.
– A modular EDS provides a separate EDS file for every sys-
tem component, every module (bus node, I/O module,
valve terminal etc.) as well as individual functions.
To configure the CTEU-DN bus node or the CTEU installation
system, a standard EDS file is available Section 3.2.4.
