file can be obtained. "Faults" to assign and configure the Ethernet/IP I/O.
EDS Button
Under Setup Card header -> Select Ethernet/IP card -> Select EDS button
Connect a USB memory stick to the USB port on the bottom of the SC controller. Open the device net menu.
Click on the EDS button to export the EDS file to the memory stick.
EDS interactive menu button creates an EDS file equivalent to the Ethernet/IP I/O map created.
Use this controller generated EDS file in the PLC to which the SC controller is connected.
If the Ethernet/IP I/O map is changed, a new EDS file must be generated.
Save the changes.
