RSNetWorx for DeviceNet Software and the DeviceLogix Editors Appendix B
Click View File to view the contents of the selected EDS file. The
information stored in the EDS file is very detailed and is beyond the
scope of this document. However, if you experience difficulty
enabling DeviceLogix features, check for the following lines in the
[Device] section of the EDS file:
• "1_RSNetWorx_DNetTool = "LeoApp.LeoDevice";
Indicates that LCT should be used on this device. If only this
keyword appears, then the new Ladder Editor will not be
available, the old Ladder Editor will be available, and the
Parameter tab and I/O Default tab will reflect the old interface.
• "1_RSNetWorx_DNetToolEx = "1.00.00", "LeoApp.LeoDevice",
"7.00","RSI.DeviceNet.EDSApplet.1";
Indicates LCT should be used on this device. The Parameter tab
and I/O Default tab will reflect new interface, but the
DeviceLogix editor will not available.
• "1_DNetEDSAppletPlugIn = "7.00.00",
"DeviceLogixPlugIn.EDSAppletPlugIn.1";
Indicates LCT should be used on this device. The Parameter tab
and I/O Default tab will reflect new interface, and the new
Ladder Editor will be available.
If these three lines are not part of the [Device] section of the EDS file
for the device, the device will not be DeviceLogix-enabled.
DeviceLogix EDS files will not work in a version prior to 3.0 of
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. DeviceLogix EDS files do not ship
with some devices or as part of the normal RSNetWorx software
release. They are found in a separate folder on the CD that contains
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. Therefore, to enable DeviceLogix
features for a DeviceLogix-capable device, you must register the EDS
file for your particular device using the EDS wizard.
