Hi Team,
I have this EDS file for AM2434. The file comes with just one DATATYPE (SINT) when we import the EDS to the Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 software. I am working with field devices that work on DINT data type. and I need to be able to send DINT from my PLC (AB-L82ES) to the TI board. I tried modifying the EDS but that did not help. Need some help in understanding how can I change the TI EDS for DINT data type.
, thanks 
Hi Yash,
From your description I understood that you are trying to use the Generic Device Profile EthernetIP example. I checked with our EthernetIP Stack Expert and got some suggestions from his side regarding this.
If you want to change the type for cyclic IO's from USINT to DINT, it's not enough to just change that in EDS file.
You’d also need to change the application side of Generic Device example too.
Our actual example supports several types already now on Class 70, Instance 1:
Actually, just first 5 USINT attributes (ID 0x300 - 0x304) are mapped by Assembly object as inputs and
other 5 USINT attributes (ID 0x308 - 0x30C) are mapped as outputs by Assembly object.
The Assembly mapping is done in EI_APP_GENERIC_DEVICE_cipSetup function in app_generic_device.c file.
To change that you need to update the EI_APP_GENERIC_DEVICE_cipGenerateContent function in app_generic_device.c file and add after this line:
uint16_t attribID = 0x300;
the following code:
// 16 DINT (int32_t).
for (i = 0; i < 16; i++)
{
EI_API_CIP_SAttr_t attr;
OSAL_MEMORY_memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr));
attr.id = attribID;
attr.edt = EI_API_CIP_eEDT_DINT;
attr.accessRule = EI_API_CIP_eAR_GET_AND_SET;
attr.pvValue = &i;
EI_API_CIP_addInstanceAttr(cipNode, classId, instanceId, &attr);
EI_API_CIP_setInstanceAttr(cipNode, classId, instanceId, &attr);
attribID++;
}Then class 70, instance 1 will look like this:
With such a change you don’t need to change mapping inside Assembly object.
The EDS file needs to be changed correspondingly - at least the "data type" and "data size in bytes" under each input and output parameter.

Hi Archit,
We tried the suggestion you have given. It seems like the module is not communicating once we make the change. My suspicion is the EDS File change I made. I am attaching the file here for you to refer. Can you have a look and see if there is anything I have missed

Hi Yash,
I have assigned this query to our EIP Stack Expert. He will be able to help you better.
Regards
Archit Dev
Hi Yash,
Please find the comment from the stack team attached as follows:
We analyzed the EDS file shared by you and found several issues in the Assembly and Capacity configuration groups.
Please try the attached updated EDS file and check whether it is working for you. https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/908/am243x_2D00_lp_5F00_tiEtherNetIP_5F00_freeRTOS_5F00_0xC4_2D00_datatype.eds
In case that it still not working, please send us Wireshark log from PLC and device communication.
With best regards
EtherNet/IP Team
Hi Archit,
I tried the new EDS and it seems to have solved the part where I can change the Datatype on the PLC end. Thanks for that part! But the communication is still not up between the TI board and the PLC. I have captured the wireshark as you have asked. I saw the error code (0x54) for the IP that we changed the firmware for on the TI board. Attaching the file for your reference.
Hi Yash,
Good to know that now you can change the Datatype on the PLC end.
Allow us some time to analyze the logs that you shared.
Thank you for your patience.
Regards
Archit Dev
Hi Yash,
On analyzing the Wireshark log, I can see that the additional status in the CIP Header is 0x0114.
According to the Spec Vol1_3.36, this can be due to Vendor ID or Product Code mismatch.
Can you please confirm what SDK version are you using?
The EDS file we shared is from the Industrial Communications SDK version 9.2.
Regards
Archit Dev
Hi Archit,
We are using SDK 9.0 currently. Can you share SDK version 9.2 if the EDS is meant for to communicate with it.
Hi Yash,
You can find the ICSDK v 9.2 here : https://www.ti.com/tool/download/INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM243X/09.02.00.08
Regards
Archit Dev
Hi Yash,
Thank you for the quick response. Hopefully, this should resolve your issue.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards
Archit Dev
