You can also obtain the EDS files in either of these two ways:
• By downloading it from
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/eds/.
• By using the RSLinx EDS Hardware Installation tool.
Follow this procedure to upload the EDS files directly from the switch over the
network.
1. From your computer, choose Start > Programs > Rockwell Software >
RSLinx > Tools > EDS Hardware Installation Tool.
2. Click Add to launch the EDS Wizard and add the selected hardware
description and associated files.
Six different EDS files are supplied with the switch, one for each port count
(6, 10, 14, 18, 22 and 26 ports). Regardless of the switch from which you upload
EDS files, you receive all six files and the Stratix 8000 switch icon.
