The EDS files for the XM modules are installed on your computer with the XM
configuration software. The latest EDS files can also be obtained at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds or by contacting your local Rockwell
Automation representative.
Refer to your DeviceNet documentation for instructions on registering the EDS
files.
ADR for XM Modules Automatic device replacement (ADR) is a feature of an Allen-Bradley DeviceNet
scanner. It provides a means for replacing a failed device with a new unit, and
having the device configuration data set automatically. Upon replacing a failed
device with a new unit, the ADR scanner automatically downloads the
configuration data and sets the node address.
ADR can be used with XM modules but keep the following in mind when setting
up the XM modules:
• The ADR scanner can not download the configuration data to an XM
module if the module has a saved configuration in its nonvolatile memory.
This happens because the saved configuration is restored and the module
enters Run mode when the power is cycled. (Configuration parameters
cannot be downloaded while an XM module is in Run mode.) XM
modules must be in Program mode for the ADR configuration to be
downloaded and this occurs only when there is no saved configuration.
IMPORTANT We recommend that ADR not be used in safety related applications. If the
failure of the ADR server, and a subsequent power cycle, would result in the
loss of protection for a machine, then do not implement ADR.
TIP To delete a saved configuration from nonvolatile memory, use the Delete
service in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software or perform the following steps in
the XM Serial .
1. From the File menu, choose Save As.
2. Enter a file name for the configuration.
3. Click OK.
4. Click the Module tab.
5. Click Reset to reset the module to factory defaults.
6. From the File menu, choose Open.
7. Select the configuration file and choose OK.
Make sure to disable auto save. From the Device menu, clear the Auto Save
Configuration checkmark.
