Watlow EZ-ZONE™ Communications • 43 • Chapter 4 DeviceNet

3. The next step in the process of commissioning the network is to open up RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. Once
opened up go online selecting the hardware you previously configured in RSLinx. In figure 4.3 we again
see that node 7 has a question mark but now within RSNetWorx we can also see that this device and its
associated EDS file is not registered.

4. There are two ways to register the Watlow EZ-ZONE™ control on the network:
1. Click on "Tools" and then "EDS Wizard" and point the software to the location of the Watlow provided
electronic data sheet (EDS) and "Register an EDS File".
2. Click on "Tools" and then "EDS Wizard" and then "Create a EDS file".
It is slightly easier to register the Watlow control if you have on-hand the Watlow provided EDS file. If
you do not have the EDS file and do not want to wait to acquire it then option two above is the way to
go. Next, we will now take a closer look at the steps involved for both options defined above.
