Posted 26 Apr 2017 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.

Posted 26 Apr 2017 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.

Posted 27 Apr 2017 Probably easier to create a UDT to handle it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
