7. Export the EDS file.
• To clearly identify the EDS file in the »PLC Designer« during import, clearly
rename the device before export in the »Engineer«. (you can e.g. manually
precede each device name in the »Engineer« with the project name.)
• The »PLC Designer« only displays the device name contained in the EDS file.
Highlight the CAN interface of the Inverter Drive 8400 to be connected to the
control in the project tree. Then select the "EDS export …" command from the
context menu.
8. Save the file to any folder, logically to your total project directory. You should not
change the suggested file name. The »Engineer« reports that the file has been
created.
You must reimport the EDS file after doing the following in the »Engineer« …
• replacing the application,
• adding, deleting, renaming a port under the Ports tab or changing its
application variables,
• adding, deleting function blocks that can be parameterised in the FB Editor or
changing their code number range.
If you reimport the EDS file, you should overwrite the existing EDS file. It is not
reasonable to create several file versions with the same device name since you
cannot distinguish them in the »PLC Designer«.
