Part Number: AM2434

Tool/software:

Hi Team, 

I wanted to get the EDS File transferred from TI signature to my companies Signature but have been unsuccessful in doing so. Required TI teams guidance to configure the EDS file for EtherNet/IP protocol. 

-Thanks

    Hi Yash,

    To edit your EDS file, you can use the EZ-EDS tool provided by ODVA. Are you currently using this tool? If so, what specific issues are you encountering?

    When you mention 'signature', are you referring to modifying the vendor-specific information, such as the Vendor ID, Vendor Name, Icon, Product Code, etc.?

    Best regards,
    Pourya

    Hi Pourya, 

    The tool that you have recommended is the one we are using. After we change the Vendor ID Icon Product code keeping all the other setting the same. The EDS file generated does not show any datatypes apart from SINT which is one problem. Second once I import the EDS in my Studio 5000 software the EDS file then does not recognise the configured AM2434 in the device tree when connecting it to the network

    Hi Yash,

    Have you also updated your code to reflect the new Identity, including the Vendor ID, product code, and other relevant details?

    For reference, you can look at the Generic Device example, specifically the generic_device_cfg.c file, which contains the GENERIC_DEVICE_CFG_applyIdentity function. This function is used to configure the device's Identity.

    It's essential to ensure that the EDS file and the Identity object of your device are consistent, as any mismatch between the two can prevent a connection from being established.
    Apart from that, you can use CT21 tool from ODVA to check your EDS file for potential errors on the file itself. (By using CT21 and creating a SOC file, you can also run conformance test to make sure your device is conforming to the standards)
    Here you can see a screenshot of EDS checker:
