Characteristics of an EDS File
Description | The EDS file describes all configurable objects for CANopen products. These |
| configurable objects are used to identify the product and specify the appropriate |
| behavior. The parameters of an EDS file contain all the important information |
| relating to the product. For example: |
| The product type |
| The manufacturer |
| The identification of the vendor |
| The item number |
| The software version |
| The hardware version |
| The details of all the configurable objects |
| etc. |
| Each EDS file is specific to a product type and cannot be |
| as this will result in the incorrect I/O configuration. It is up to the user to make sure |
| that the correct EDS file is used. |
| An EDS file can be recognized by its ".eds" extension. Each EDS file is associated |
| with one or more ".dib" image files. |
