Step 2: Locate the module is on the network.

• RSNetWorx allows browsing on the network to identify devices.

• Select the Network menu option and pull down menu.

capabilities. An EDS file is available on the Pyramid Solutions web site. The EDS

file must be registered with RSNetWorx before configuration can continue.

• Select the Tools menu option and pull down menu.

• Select the EDS Wizard option.

• Click on Next.

• Select Register an EDS File option and click Next.

• Select Register a Single File and enter, or browse to, the location of the

EDS file for BridgeWay.

• Click Next or Finish for the remaining option screens.

• Select the Single Pass Browse option and wait for browsing to complete.

Now an icon identifying the device as the BridgeWay module should

appear.

Step 4: Put the BridgeWay in Idle Mode

The BridgeWay powers up in Idle mode, and is controlled by the EtherNet/IP

scanner through the output command register. Make sure that the module is in Idle

mode by verifying that the BridgeWay Status LED is flashing green (the LED is

solid green when the module is in Run mode). If the module is not in Idle mode,

place the connected Ethernet scanner in Idle or Program mode.
