Chapter 9 IntelliCENTER Options
Position each power supply to ensure that it feeds a maximum of seven columns
to the left or right (see the sample line-up below).
MCC line-ups with more than 14 columns could exceed the 75 m trunk length
limit to support 500 kbps communications. When the trunk length exceeds this
limit, 250 kbps communications should be specified.
Electronic Data Sheets (EDS) This section applies to any MCC with IntelliCENTER software installed on a
DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP network.
After IntelliCENTER software is installed, an electronic data sheet (EDS) must
be registered for each unique device in the MCC. This section details how to
perform that task.
Overview
EDS files are simple text files used by network configuration tools—such as
RSNetWorx™, RSLogix 5000, or IntelliCENTER software—to help identify
products and easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe a
product’s device type, version, and configurable parameters on a DeviceNet or
EtherNet/IP network.
Where to Find EDS Files
The IntelliCENTER data CD has a directory ( <cdrom>:\<order>\<item>\EDS)
that contains the EDS files necessary for the devices in your IntelliCENTER
MCC. The EDS files are automatically registered by the installation program.
An “EDS file” CD is provided that contains EDS files for all DeviceNet and
EtherNet/IP products found in MCCs.
