Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)

On EtherNet/IP, the characteristics of a device is stored in an ASCII data file with the suffix EDS.
This file is used by configuration tools etc. when setting up the network configuration. HMS
Industrial Networks supplies a standard (generic) EDS file, which corresponds to the default
settings in the module.
Since the module implements the Parameter Object, it is possible for configuration tools such as
