Running the database creation scripts
You must run a database creation script to create the Entek and EConfig databases. If the
Entek databases already exist, you can connect to them, and you do not need to follow
these steps. The scripts to create the databases are installed with Emonitor, so they can
only be run after you install Emonitor.
See Running the creation scripts on page 10.
Installing the EDS files
If you are want to use Emonitor Online with, or import data from, XM or XM DYN
modules into Emonitor, you must install the latest EDS files for the XM and XM DYN
modules. EDS files are simple text files that are used by network Configuration Tools
such as the Emonitor Online Configuration Utility to describe products so that you can
easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe a product device type, revision,
and configurable parameters.
1. Start the EDS Hardware Installation Tool. Click Start > Program Files > Rockwell
Software > RSLinx > Tools > EDS Hardware Installation Tool.
2. In the EDS Hardware Installation Tool, click Add.
3. Select Register a directory of EDS files.
4. Click Browse, and navigate to the Emonitor program directory and click OK. The
default directory is C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\Emonitor.
5. Click Next. The Tool installs all the EDS files in the Emonitor program directory.
Some EDS files may show minor errors that do not have any functional impact, such
as “The help string has exceeded the maximum length.” Click Next.
6. Continue to click Next to complete the EDS Wizard, and finally click Finish.
If you are upgrading Emonitor version 3.70 on a network system with a pre-existing Emonitor
database, do not run the database creation scripts, The Emonitor databases already exist on
your database server.
You must install RSLinx Classic 3.60 or later before you can install EDS files.
