Network Identity - Anybus CompactCom 40 Network Manual

Basic Operation
3.1.2 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. However, due to the flexible nature of the Anybus CompactCom concept,
it is possible to alter the behavior of the product in ways which invalidate the generic EDS file. In
such case, a custom EDS file needs to be created, which in turn invalidates the default identity
information and require re-certification of the product.
Since the module implements the Parameter Object, it is possible for configuration tools such as
RSNetWorx to automatically generate a suitable EDS-file. Note that this functionality requires
that the command Get_Instance_Number_By_Order (Application Data Object, FEh) has been
implemented in the host application.

3.2

Network Identity

By default, the module uses the following identity settings:
Vendor ID:
Device Type:
Product Code:
Product Name:
Optionally, it is possible to customize the identity of the module by implementing the
corresponding instance attributes in the EtherNet/IP Host Object.

3.3 Communication Settings
Network related communication settings are grouped in the Network Configuration Object (04h),

HMS Industrial Networks approves use of the standard EDS-file only under the condition
that it matches the actual implementation and that the identity information remains
unchanged.

(CIP object)
According to the CIP specification, the combination of Vendor ID and serial number must
be unique. It is not permitted to use a custom serial number in combination with the
HMS Vendor ID (005Ah), nor is it permitted to choose Vendor ID arbitrarily. Failure to
comply to this requirement will induce interoperability problems and/or other unwanted
side effects.
To obtain a Vendor ID, contact the ODVA.
