Creating an EDS File
After you go online, you can download an EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file
from any device on the network. An EDS file is a specially formatted ASCII
file that provides all the information necessary for a configuration tool such
as DeviceNet Manager to access and edit the parameters in a device. To
create an EDS file for a 1329I unit with a DeviceNet option:
1. Select Utilities > Create EDS Stub to display the Create EDS Stub
dialog box.

2. Under Polled Connection, select Enable (a check appears), type 4 into
the Input Size box, and type 4 into the Output Size box.
3. Click Load from Device. The Load from Device dialog box appears.

4. Type the node address of the 1329I unit and DeviceNet option, and then
click OK. DeviceNet Manager downloads an EDS file. When it is
finished, the Create EDS Stub dialog box reappears.
