I'd like to use EDS files to set up Ethernet/IP devices that I'll be using often; Murr Elektronic Impact67 IO Blocks in this case.

I downloaded the EDS files from Murr, but they don't seem to work well with the Productivity Suite. In both cases (attached below), the Productivity Suite throws a "Line 183: Connection1: Invalid connection parameters: variable sized T->O is supported " error. (Note: the error for the 55085 block lists Line 182, it's the last line in both files)

I 've tried commenting out the last line, but then the program throws a "No connections are available for import " error.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to modify the Murr provided EDS file to work? Or maybe creating a Productivity Suite compatible EDS file from scratch?

Looking at the GS4 EDS File, it seems like maybe the Murr EDS file is missing data in the and sections?

Is there some sort of EDS generator that works well with Productivity Suite?

Thanks,

Bill

Sorry for the wall of text :p, but I figured it may be easier to have the file contents here versus having to download and unzip.

Your device eds file specifies that it supports variable size for O>T in the connection manager section. (0x4464040F) Productivity does not support variable output sizes at this time.

You can create a Generic client and use T>O Assembly of 100 (looks like min bytes would be 3 and max 4) , O>T Assembly of 112 ( looks like min bytes would be 1 and max 2), Config Assembly of 128 Size 0 bytes.

So I downloaded the EZ-EDS editor/generator from the OVDA website: https://www.odva.org/software/EZ-EDS-Download

Took a swing at creating a new EDS file from scratch, referencing the GS4 EDS file in another window.

Seems to import into Productivity Suite okay. Hopefully I'll remember to report back if it works or not when I get around to commissioning the system.
