Activate output variables (e.g. Using the tool WAGO Ethernet Settings → Ethernet/IP). Procure the manual for the fieldbus coupler. Download the current EDS file for the device from the WAGO website.

You didn't already do that, did you? There are two cardinal rules for the care and feeding of the RSCommon folder and the EDS registration mechanism. Rule 1: Never copy or move an EDS file directly to the RSCommon/EDS folder. Rule 2: If you violate Rule 1, never run the EDS Wizard or Registration Tool on a file that is already located in the RSCommon/EDS folder. CompactLogix actually needs several EDS files; the controller, the comms daughtercard, and the virtual backplane. I think they're all bundled together these days.

Whenever I need an EDS file I get all of them that could possibly be the one I would need and download and register them. Harddrive space is cheap and the time spent going back and forth to figure out the right one is not worth it. I wish AB would make some of their new equipment so that it would store its EDS file in the memory of the device and RSLinx would upload if it needed it. If you load new firmware in something part of the download process could replace the EDS file with a new one.

This would save a lot of time and make a lot of people happy. It really blows to show up somewhere and go to connect to equipment and find out the new stuff has a new revision of firmware, but your out at a lift station/water tower, etc. That is im the middle of nowhere. Now the rest of your day is spent trying to find an internet connection and then trying to figure out which EDS file to download. I'm with jtn.

When I get EDS files I download and install every available version unless I know I already have a specific one. If you want to find out what you have installed you can open the EDS install tool and select 'Remove'. The first thing the tool does is take an audit of the registered EDS files.

You can use this to see what you have registered. Just cancel the process and you won't delete anything. My big beef with Linx is that it is so restrictive. I find it hard to believe that the data access mechanism of a ControlLogix processor has changed so much from version to version that Linx can't access it without the correct version EDS. The same goes for the ENBT or CNB cards. I can see why there should be some indication that you don't have the correct version. But why wouldn't Linx just give the connection the old college try using the EDS file from a previous version?

Let the user decide if it's wrong. Vipre internet security 2013 pc lifetime cracked. It's not a cure-all, but the good news is that many new products have the EDS embedded in them. Take a look at the default web page for a 1734-AENT, for example, and you will find a link to the EDS file that can be downloaded directly from the device. Many DeviceNet products, too, support the 'upload EDS' wizard function because they contain a full Parameter object that RSNetworx can build an EDS from.
