Hi all,
I am trying to connect a NX Vacon to a (yet to be determined) omron ethernet ip capable plc. I am having trouble with the ethernet configuration using the EIP configurator.
The supplied eds file for the vacon drive appears not to contain all the data that omron requires to successfully attach the device to the plc. I checked a couple of other eds files that "work in the configurator software" and they have much more info in them. I copy and pasted the missing parts of the eds from a working eds and could finally get he device to attach to the plc but I know it will not work. I don't know enough about eds files to work through this one on my own.
Is it normal to have to modify a eds file to suit?
Can i post the eds file to see if someone knows what data is missing?
Does omron have a generic ethernet module which is configured in a similar way to that of Logix 5000?
Any other learning suggestions? I have done generic EIP with Logix 5000 before successfully.
