EDS library: Entering slaves manually

When you commission a valve terminal with
the DeviceNet Manager the first time, you
must first extend the EDS library (electronic
data sheets) of the DeviceNet Manager. Infor-
mation on the valve terminal, such as the
name of the manufacturer, the product name,
product code etc. are entered here in the EDS
library.
The necessary information can be:
•
read in online mode
•
entered in offline mode.
Please note that the product code of the
modular valve terminal/valve sensor termi-
nal up to software version V1.3/1.4
(22.07.96) depends on the equipment fitted
on the valve terminal/valve sensor terminal.
Valve terminals with different equipment fitted
have different product codes.
