DeviceNet Information
Electronic Data Sheets Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files are simple text files used by network
configuration tools such as RSNetWorx (Version 3.0 or later) to help you
identify products and easily commission them on a network. The EDS files
describe a product’s device type, product revision, and configurable parameters
on a DeviceNet network.
The EDS files for the XM modules are installed on your computer with the
XM configuration software. The latest EDS files can also be obtained at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds/ or by contacting your local Rockwell
Automation representative.
Refer to your DeviceNet documentation for instructions on registering the
EDS files.
Changing Operation Modes XM modules operate in two modes.
To change the operation mode of the module, use the Device Mode parameter
in the EDS file. Note that the Stop and Start services described on page 73 can
also be used to change the operation mode.
Mode Description
Run The XM measurement modules collect measurement data and
monitor each measurement device.
The XM-440 establishes I/O connections with the XM
measurement modules in its scan list and monitors their alarms,
and controls its own relay outputs accordingly.
Program The XM module is idle.
The XM measurement modules stop the signal
processing/measurement process, and the status of the alarms
is set to the disarm state to prevent a false alert or danger
status.
The XM-440 closes the I/O connections with the XM
measurement modules in its scan list and stops monitoring their
alarms, relays are deactivated unless they are latched.
Configuration parameters can be read, updated and downloaded
to the XM module.
IMPORTANT
The XM Serial Configuration Utility software automatically
puts XM modules in Program mode and Run mode
without user interaction.
