EDS Files

The characteristic properties of a DeviceNet™ module are documented in the form of an electronic data sheet (EDS file). The file completely and clearly describes the characteristics (objects) of a module type in a standardized and manufacturer-independent format. Programs used to configure a DeviceNet™ network use the module type descriptions available in the EDS files. This strongly simplifies the configuration of a DeviceNet™ system. Usually the EDS files are provided by the device manufacturer. In addition, the ODVA provides many EDS files in the Internet which can be downloaded free of charge.
