EDS Files DeviceNet requires an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) to configure a slave. An EDS contains product specific information and is designed to make configuration easier. AiRanger / SITRANS LU Series, CraneRanger and InterRanger DPS 300 • The file for the SmartLinx DeviceNet card is called hms-1002.eds and is located on a disk shipped with the card. EnviroRanger ERS 500, MultiRanger 100/200, HydroRanger 200 • The file for the SmartLinx DeviceNet card is called hms-1003.eds and is located on a disk shipped with the card. Milltronics BW500, Milltronics SF500, • The file for the SmartLinx DeviceNet card is called hms-1003.eds and is located on a disk shipped with the card.
Sample Code Also on the disk shipped with the card, are some sample PLC programs for the Allen- Bradley PLC5, SLC500, and ControlLogix. These programs are intended as a “guide only”. Siemens Milltronics assumes no responsibilities for their application. Set-up Procedure The set-up procedure will vary depending on the type of equipment used. Generally do the following steps: 1. Import the Siemens Milltronics EDS file into your network configuration software. 2. In the software, configure the Siemens Milltronics instrument at the desired MAC address. 3. Add the Siemens Milltronics instrument to the ScanList of the scanning instrument (DeviceNet master).
It would be added as Polled I/O with the Rx and Tx as stated on page 11 for the product you are using. 4. Download the new configuration into the DeviceNet Scanner. 5. Configure the Siemens Milltronics instrument to the correct baud rate and MAC ID (P751, P752) and connect it to the network. Refer to the following section on Specific Parameters. 6. Program the PLC to read and write the information from the scanner. This step varies with the PLC. For example, for the PLC5, set up a block transfer read and a block transfer write.
