Master configuration

Overview

This chapter gives information on configuring the DeviceNet
master station for communication through the RDNA-01
DeviceNet Adapter module.

Configuring the system

After the RDNA-01 DeviceNet Adapter module has been
mechanically and electrically installed according to the instructions
in previous chapters, and has been initialized by the drive, the
master station must be prepared for communication with the
module.
Please refer to the Scanner documentation for information on
configuring the system for communication with the RDNA-01.

EDS files

Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files specify the properties of the
device for the DeviceNet scanner. The device is identified by the
DeviceNet scanner by means of the Vendor Code, Product Code,
Device Type, and Major Revision of the module software (See
Identity Object 01h).
Note: Only one EDS file with the same DeviceNet Product Code
can be installed in the PLC at a time.
To enable the use of different ABB drive types on the same
DeviceNet network, a unique Product Code has been given to
each drive type and application combination.
The EDS files are available in typical and extended formats. The
typical EDS files include the I/O Assembly configuration properties
and the definition of the parameters in the fieldbus parameter
group (see chapter Drive configuration) only. The typical EDS files
