Figure 3.1 RSNetWorx On-line with
Found Devices
Figure 3.1 shows node address 1 with a question mark on its
icon, indicating that this device has not yet been registered in
RSNetWorx. At this point the user may register an existing
EDS file or create one. Both options are addressed in the fol-
lowing sections.
Registering the D8 without an EDS File
This section assumes the user does not have an EDS file from
Watlow for the D8 controller but needs to get the unit up and
running anyway.
To register the device without the Watlow EDS file:
1. Double-click the device with a question mark.
2. Proceed through the prompts to create an EDS file.
3. Select the polled method (Master/Slave) and then enter
the number of input and output bytes. See Table 3.1.
