EtherNet/IP & DeviceNet Information
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS)
Files EDS files are specially formatted ASCII files that provide all of the information
necessary for a configuration tool (e.g., RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP) to access
and alter the parameters of a device. The EDS file contains all the parameter
information of a device: number of parameters, groupings, parameter name, min,
max, and default values, units, data format and scaling. The EDS file for the
EtherNet/IP Communications Auxiliary is available from the Internet at
www.ab.com/networks/eds/index.html . It can also be obtained from the
EtherNet/IP Communications Auxiliary’s internal web page.
