Advanced EDS Files
Advanced EDS files provide access to the complete drive parameter set
for a specific version of software. This al so includes parameters for any
small option module that may be fitted to the drive. Advanced EDS files
must be created using the Advanced EDS File Compiler, available from
your local Control Techniques Drive Centre.
To use an advanced EDS file:
1.
Specify the Unidrive mode to be used.
2.
Specify the type of small option module fitted
3.
Specify the nearest matching software version
4.
Make a note of the "Product Code Elaboration" value specified for
#20.12.
5.
Build the EDS file.
6.
Install the EDS file into the DeviceNet configuration software.
7.
Set #20.12 as specified for the Unidrive
8.
Set #17.19 to 1 to store and reset the UD70. (See section 4.9)
When the network is re-scanned, the product code of the Unidrive will
have changed, and this should be matched to the EDS file that has just
been created.
