Configuration Files

The parameters and possible settings of CANopen devices are listed in the configuration files (electronic data sheets, or eds files). These eds files can be read by configuration tools. The structure and syntax of eds files is defined in CiA DSP 306. A tool can be downloaded from the website maintained by the CAN in Automation Association (http://www.can-cia.com) with which the eds files can be checked for consistency with the standard.

The eds files for the BECKHOFF CANopen bus components are available on the BECKHOFF site (http://www.beckhoff.com) and on the BECKHOFF product CDs.
