DeviceNet™ Information
Electronic Data Sheets
(EDS)
EDS files are specially formatted ASCII files that provide all of the information
necessary for a configuration tool (e.g., RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet) to access
and alter the parameters of a device. The EDS file contains all the parameter
information of a device to include:
• number of parameters
• groupings
• parameter name
• minimum, maximum, and default values,
• minimum, maximum, and default units,
• data format, and
• scaling.
EDS files for all E3 Overload Relay units are available at
www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/eds. The EDS files may also be built
automatically by some configuration tools since all of the information necessary
for an EDS file may be extracted from the E3 Overload Relay.
Product Codes
Since the E3 Overload Relay is available in a variety of current ranges, each model
supports a parameter set that is slightly different in terms of min, max, and
default values for parameters that are related to motor current. Therefore, each
model uses an EDS file specific to that model. Configuration tools use “product
codes” to identify which EDS file to use for a given device. The following table
summarizes the various product codes.
IMPORTANT DeviceLogix capability is not available when uploading the EDS from an
E3 Plus Overload Relay. The EDS file must be obtained from the internet.
