Modular EDS file for RS Logix5000

3 posts in this topic

Hi,

I want to use a third party gateway with RS Logix5000 PLC over Ethernet/IP. Third party gateway has proprietary interface on the other side for diff types of devices.

For this system I want to build a modular EDS file. First of all is it possible to have modular EDS file for third party devices with RS Logix5000.

Thanks.

I do believe it is possible to create an EDS file to adapt a 3rd party device to a Rockwell Logix PLC.  I have had to edit a simple manufacturer EDS file to get their new product to work  http://www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/downloads/rockwellautomation/pdf/sales-partners/technology-licensing/Logix_EDS_AOP_Guidelines.pdf

I would suggest finding the EDS file of a similar product.  The product manufacturer may already be working on releasing an EDS file, so it is suggested to work with them to save you possibly a lot of troubleshooting time.

Probably easier to create a UDT to handle it.
