Hello, I am in possession of a Rockwell 45MLA-CTRL-CAN Light Array controller that operates using the Canbus protocol. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate the EDS file for this specific controller online, including a search on the PCDC site. Here is the direct link to the controller: 45MLA-CTRL-CAN | US. I am seeking assistance, advice, or guidance on finding the necessary EDS file as without it, I am unable to seamlessly integrate this light array controller into my project. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The EDS is designed for a CIP enabled device, although it is not a CIP device itself. Based on the presence of a CAN bus, it is likely that the CAN controller in use will detect it during bus scans. Keep in mind that this is just an educated guess, as I am not a CAN bus specialist.
User Contr_Conn stated that the device in question is not CIP-enabled, but instead appears to be a CAN bus device. It is likely that the CAN controller being used will detect it during bus scans. While not an expert on CAN buses, this is an educated guess. Thank you for the input. I am working with a M241 Schneider PLC that utilizes CAN Open. Schneider has advised me to obtain an EDS/GSD/XML file in order to integrate a light array, however, the source of this file remains unknown. Any additional recommendations would be welcomed!
Hi there. I understand the frustration when you can't find the right information. While your specific file doesn't appear to be readily available online, I suggest reaching out directly to the Rockwell Automation technical support team. They usually hold comprehensive databases for such files and would typically provide the files upon request. Make sure to provide your exact module number in your request. You may also try their online chat feature, which I found very helpful in the past. Hope this helps and good luck with your project!
Hey there! Sometimes, manufacturers don't provide specific EDS files for each product but instead offer a generic EDS file that works for a whole series. I'd suggest contacting Rockwell Automation directly about the EDS file for your 45MLA-CTRL-CAN controller - they can usually provide technical assistance in these cases. Alternatively, some engineers have luck with reverse engineering the CANbus messages; a bit challenging but doable. Remember to double-check your settings too, sometimes it might be a simple configuration issue. Good luck with your project!
Hi there! Finding the correct EDS file can indeed be quite tricky. However, Rockwell usually includes them in the product disk that comes with its controllers. If you don't have the disc, it can definitely make things harder. One thing you could potentially consider is reaching out directly to Rockwell technical support. In my experience, they've been quite helpful, and if the EDS file exists, they should be able to point you in the right direction. You could also try posting your query on Rockwell's online forums. You might just find someone else who has wrestled with the same problem. Good luck!
Hey there! It seems like you've already exhausted many of the standard resources for EDS files, so you might need to reach out directly to Rockwell's customer support for assistance. They typically have a backlog of older or less common EDS files that aren't readily accessible online. Also, I would recommend checking with user-specific forums or communities whose members have specific experience with Rockwell products. Sometimes your peers might have faced similar issues and can guide you in the right direction. Good luck with your project!
Have you tried reaching out directly to Rockwell's tech support? They can sometimes provide EDS files that aren't available online. Another option is to check forums or groups specific to automation and Canbus users; someone might have the file or could point you to a reliable source. Good luck with your integration!
Have you tried reaching out directly to Rockwell's technical support? They can often provide EDS files or help guide you to the right resources. Additionally, checking with online forums or communities dedicated to Rockwell products might lead to someone who has already dealt with the same issue and could share their file. Good luck!
