EDS Files
What are EDS files?
EDS (Electronic Data Sheets) files are text files that are used by SM-DeviceNet network configuration software tools. They contain information about the device, such as manufacturer, product type, product code, etc., and they also provide information on the default settings and functions supported by the device. Mapping information is also included that allows access to device parameters over the SM-DeviceNet network.
EDS files are not downloaded to the PLC or scanner, and are only used during network configuration. It is actually possible to configure a network without the EDS files.
Generic EDS files
Generic EDS files are available for all supported drives. These files are available from your local Control Techniques Drive Centre or supplier.
Drive icon files are also supplied for use with the SM-DeviceNet configuration software being used. EDS files must usually be installed into the software package being used to configure a SM-DeviceNet network. Refer to the software documentation supplied with the master for instructions on how to install EDS files. Control Techniques cannot provide specific technical support for any of these software packages.
Advanced EDS files
These files are available from your local Control Techniques Drive Centre.
EDS file revisions
Consult your supplier for the latest EDS files and revision information.

SM-DeviceNet configuration tools use the VendorID, ProductType, ProductCode and
MajorRevision attributes of the Identity Object () to match a SM-DeviceNet node to the correct EDS file.
Generic files allow a basic file to be used for a drive, irrespective of any minor software updates and the arrangement of options, if any are installed. The down side is that they only provide access to a limited number of parameters that are always available in a particular mode of configuration, e.g. open loop mode.
Advanced EDS files are generated for a specific configuration of drive, and if a node changes it may no longer match the configuration in the master. However, advanced
EDS files provide access to all parameters available in the node, including parameters in options installed in other slots in the drive.
