The possibility of integrating the EDS file in the control is not standardized. Check with your control manufacturer whether integration in the control is supported. The EDS file can if required be downloaded from the Leuze homepage www.leuze.com. The data is addressed according to the following fundamental scheme: Device address (IP address) The participant is addressed with its IP address, which is unique in the network.
An EDS file (Electronic Data Sheet) is provided for the AMS 358 The EDS file is named "AMS358i.eds"; the corresponding icon is named "AMS358i.ico" Both files can be downloaded at the Leuze homepage www.leuze.com. The EDS file contains all identification and communication parameters of the device, as well as the available objects.
Integrating the hardware into the PLC using the generic Ethernet module In the RSLogix 5000 configuration tool (up to software version 20.00), a so-called generic Ethernet module is created under the Communication path for the AMS 358 Figure 9.4: Generic Ethernet module AMS 358 Leuze electronic GmbH + Co.
