System Overview

CENTERLINE® 2500 motor control centers (MCCs) are designed for applications low-voltage motor tough required.

The CENTERLINE power bus structure distributes line power throughout the MCC via an isolated bus work structure. A standard, center-fed, 300 A vertical bus supplies power to units above and below the horizontal bus, which results in an effective 600 A capacity and unrestricted unit arrangement. An optional 600 A vertical bus provides an effective rating of 1200 A.

that must comply with international standards and practices for

control centers. The CENTERLINE 2500 MCC is ideal for

industrial applications where uptime and ease of maintenance is

ArcShield Rating The CENTERLINE MCC is also available with an ArcShield™ rating. This rating

includes arc-resistant features for enhanced protection if internal arcing faults happen.

With the standard safety features of the CENTERLINE 2500 MCC, the ArcShield option provides the following:

•Spring latches

• Reinforced structure

• Pressure relief vent system through the top of the enclosure

• Protection up 300 ms at 480V/65 kA

Chapter 1 System Overview

Structure CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs offer units with a full complement of AC drives, soft

starters, and other devices. Pluggable power connections on the back of the unit plug into the vertical bus. A mechanical interlock helps prevent the unit door from being opened while the main switch is in the ON/I position. An additional mechanical interlock helps prevent the unit from being withdrawn or inserted when the unit main switch is closed. Separate vertical wireways isolate control and network cables from power wiring. Units are available as fixed or withdrawable.

MCC Column-number Sequence

Figure 7 - Unit Identification Label

The catalog number or serial number and series letter are required to identify the equipment properly to sales or factory personnel.

IMPORTANT

CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs are designed to function in any column-number sequence. However, we recommend that columns be installed in sequential order.

Each CENTERLINE 2500 MCC column nameplate identifies column-number sequence, for example, MCC column 1 of 1 or 1 of 5. See Figure 6

for where to

find column-number sequence information.

Columns are numbered to match factory-supplied MCC elevation drawings and to identify MCC columns and units easily. If there are questions about column numbering during field installation, inspection, or operation, the following instructions can provide guidance.

IMPORTANT

Leftmost column must be installed in the proper location for the bus to splice. (Both ends of double-front MCCs must be installed as ends for splicing.)

16 Rockwell Automation Publication 2500-IN001F-EN-P - April 2021

Chapter 1 System Overview

The most important criteria for additions of columns to existing MCCs is matching the horizontal bus, enclosure type, and network capabilities for the complete MCC line up. The voltage, current rating, short circuit withstand, and IP rating for all columns must be consistent.

ArcShield Labels MCC columns with arc proof assembly have a rating label (Detail E in Figure 8

on page 18) below the nameplate. There are also labels on other parts that must

be in place before operating an MCC with ArcShield; see Figure 8 on page 18

At the end of a lineup, CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs with ArcShield have a backcorner baffle and insulation on the center side closing-plate; see Figure 4 on

page 14 for more details. They also have external vertical support angles at each

end of the lineup.

Receiving, Handling, and Storage

See Receiving, Handling, and Storing CENTERLINE® 2500 Motor Control Centers Instructions, publication 2500-IN002 This publication is shipped with each MCC, attached to the outside of the MCC within the layer of clear polyethylene encasement (polywrap).

ATTENTION: MCCs are top and front heavy. To avoid personal injury or structural damage, lift or move the MCC by only the methods that are outlined in Receiving, Handling, and Storing CENTERLINE 2500 Motor Control Centers, publication 2500-IN002

Receiving CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs are shipped upright as one or two column shipping

blocks or two or four double front column shipping blocks. Each CENTERLINE 2500 MCC shipping block is provided with a lifting angle. Each column in a shipping block is bolted to the shipping skid with removable shipping angles and covered with clear plastic wrap. Protection is for upright shipping and is not waterproof or water-resistant. Equipment that extends from the structures is also protected.

, for additional instructions.

Heavy-duty export packaging is similar to standard packaging, but uses a polywrap suitable for occasional water spray. In addition, wood framing and sheeting surround the columns. The heavy-duty export packaging is not water-resistant, waterproof, or intended for long-term storage.

Upon delivery of the MCC, see the packing slip shipped with your MCC for sizes and exact shipping weights. Inspect the shipment for lost or damaged items. If lost or damaged items are detected, see the steps that are described in publication 2500-IN002

Handling The following are acceptable methods of handling MCC columns within the

receiving facility. These methods are described in publication 2500-IN002

• Use of a forklift

• Overhead lifting (crane or hoist)

• Sling lifting

MCC columns must be handled in the upright vertical position. Failure to comply with this method can lead to busbar, unit, and enclosure damage.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2500-IN001F-EN-P - April 2021 19

Chapter 2

The MCC must remain bolted to the shipping skid until delivered to its final installation area.

ATTENTION: MCCs are top and front heavy. To avoid personal injury or structural damage, never attempt to lift or move the MCC by any means other than the methods outlined in Receiving, Handling, and Storing CENTERLINE 2500 Motor Control Centers, publication 2500-IN002

Storage Store CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs, units, and related equipment in

environment with ambient temperatures ranging from -25…+55 °C For short periods (less than 24 hours), temperatures of up to 70 °C (158 °F) are allowed. Take care to help prevent damage from exposure to excessive humidity, vibration, and shock.

Store MCCs with the plastic covering in place to help prevent dirt and dust from entering the structure. Check periodically for condensation build-up and, if necessary, install space heaters. To order space heaters, Rockwell Automation representative

Join Back-to-back Columns in a Double Front Configuration

1. Verify what holes are accessible and aligned between the two back-toback columns.

2. Starting with the leftmost column, use the M6 hex head cap screws that you saved from removing the backplates to fasten the corresponding back-to-back columns to each other.

3. Torque all M6 hex head cap screws to 5.6 N•m (50 lb•in.).

4. After all back-to-back columns are fastened to each other, install the provided mounting strip and M5 taptite screws on the top of each joined column set.

5. Torque the M5 taptite screws to 3.6 N•m (32 lb•in.).

6. After each back-to-back column has been joined, inspect and clean them before closing. For the recommended procedures, see

Throughout the seismic testing, the MCC units were under power and operated before, during, and after the seismic tests.

To obtain an IBC or UBC seismic withstandability, each individual CENTERLINE 2500 MCC lineup (including any in double-front applications) must be mounted on an adequate seismic foundation. Installation must be conducted per the anchoring requirements as indicated in this instruction manual. All columns in the MCC lineup must also be bolted together per instructions in

Join Columns

on page 34.

In the CENTERLINE 2500 MCC lineup, mounting channels are incorporated in the standard design. As an alternative to bolt down anchoring, these mounting channels can be welded to an adequate seismic foundation. For seismic weld down applications, see Figure 12 on page 32

Splice the Power Bus

ATTENTION: To help prevent severe injury or death, de-energize all power

sources to the MCC before you join and splice columns. Follow EN 50110 requirements, and local codes and guidelines.

Install Cable

When you install cable, verify that it is installed according to appropriate codes and standards. Multi-conductor cables, cable trays, cable ducts, and conduit are all acceptable methods of routing cable to your MCC.

Install ArcShield Protection After Wiring

IMPORTANT

Inside the MCC enclosure, route cable away from the PE conductor to avoid damage. Position cable so bends are minimized and relative vertical alignment to incoming connections is maintained. Final cable connections must not place any additional strain on the termination blocks.

See the documentation package shipped with your MCC for the following information:

• Approximate cable entry locations

• Space availability for incoming cables

• PE conductor locations

• Wiring schemes for main fusible disconnects, main circuit breakers, and incoming line compartments

Install cable per supplied instructions. Size cable to appropriate codes and standards.

You can temporarily remove ArcShield™ latch brackets to maker it easier to connect load cables.

Consider removing a unit if you cannot access the screw on the left side of the bracket.

All installed cable is installed must be compatible with the enclosure rating of the MCC. Cable entry and exit points must be properly sealed so water and moisture cannot enter or accumulate inside the enclosure.

Follow these procedures to install the door latch bracket/frame stiffener in the wireway.

1. Open the door.

2. Install door latch bracket and frame stiffener bracket (if latter was removed).

Verify that the latch bracket is in the correct orientation before you install it. See Detail C in the following figure.

Unit Size Unit size is described in terms of modules. One module is 80 mm high by 500

mm wide. Withdrawable units are available in 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 modules. Fixed units are available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 modules.

Any unit size above one module must be in even increments. Therefore, you cannot have a unit that is 11 modules high.

CENTERLINE® 2500 MCCs are available with many combinations of withdrawable and fixed units.

Figure 29 - Unit Types

Withdrawable Units Units are available as either standard withdrawable or withdrawable with the

SecureConnect™ option.

On standard withdrawable units, the withdraw lever is located behind the unit door, where you must first open the door to operate the lever. On withdrawable units with SecureConnect, the withdraw lever is on the outside of the door, so the unit lever can be operated and withdrawn while the door remains closed.

Additional features include a separate unit door and optional door-mounted pilot devices. The unit door can be closed and latched, providing isolation when the unit is removed. Pilot devices are housed in removable control stations. An optional closing plate is available to help provide isolation if the control station is removed.

Withdraw Lever

The withdrawal lever is the large black handle in the lower center of each SecureConnect unit. This handle can be retracted or extended, the latter position to gain more mechanical leverage while operating the handle.

The withdraw lever has the same four positions on the standard or SecureConnect withdrawable units. For more information on the positions, see Operating Positions for All Withdrawable Units

on page 72.

Interlock Operator

The interlock operator is the small, black handle closest to the hinged side of the unit door. To move a SecureConnect unit, the interlock operator must be depressed during any withdraw lever movement. Depressing the interlock operator releases the internal interlocks that help prevent any unwanted unit movement.

Besides being depressed or released, the interlock operator can also be rotated to the left (unlocked) or right (locked). The rotation direction controls the internal interlocks and limits the positions that the SecureConnect unit can move.

Introduction This chapter provides guidance for the startup of a newly installed MCC.

We recommend that you make an itemized list that includes the following:

• Serial number

• Number of columns

• Number of units and their corresponding voltage

• Current ratings

• Kilowatt ratings

• Types of circuits

• Fuse sizes

• Circuit breaker ratings and trip settings

• Other important data

Pre-commissioning Checklist

Save this itemized list in a file with other MCC data, such as component manuals, MCC manuals, overload relay instructions, and wiring diagrams.

ATTENTION: Follow applicable company safety procedures.

ATTENTION:

energizing check and locked in the OFF/O position. Follow EN 50110 requirements, and local codes and guidelines. Use a voltmeter to verify that the remote MCC power sources are disconnected.

ATTENTION: Power factor correction capacitors (PFCCs) must be applied correctly. Temporarily disconnect PFCCs when they are connected to the motor circuit, and the startup procedure requires the respective motors to be jogged, inched, or bumped (rotation direction check). For additional assistance, contact your Rockwell Automation representative.

ATTENTION: Verify that motor acceleration times are within specific application specifications. Excessive start currents and/or acceleration times can cause inverse time circuit breakers, power fuses, overload relays, and other components to overheat and/or shut down equipment.

To help protect the safety of personnel who perform the pre-

, verify that the remote MCC power sources are disconnected

Chapter 7 Commissioning

The following procedures must be executed by only a ‘skilled person’ as defined by IEV 195-04-01 and 3.52 of IEC 60204-1, as follows:

‘Skilled person: Person with relevant education and experience to enable him or her to perceive risks and to avoid hazards that operation or maintenance of a product can create.’

Follow these procedures to complete the pre-commissioning checklist.

1. Check and verify that the MCC is installed per instructions. See Chapter 3 on page 21

2. Inspect and verify that the MCC is level and secured.

3. Inspect the enclosure and units for damage and verify that electrical clearances have been maintained based on the voltage and impulse rating of the equipment.

4. Remove all blocks or temporary holding means used for shipping component devices in the MCC.

5. Check the integrity of the bus splice connections. For the recommended torque values, see Torque Specifications

page 48.

See Install Columns

on page 21 for splicing information.

The factory-made horizontal power bus to vertical distribution bus connections are tightened by a computer-controlled torquing system. Therefore, these components do not need torquing by the customer.

6. Check and verify that all PE connections are made according to applicable codes and standards.

If the PE conductor is not provided or has been removed, verify that the MCC columns are connected with joining hardware to provide a continuous PE path. See Join Columns

on page 34 for more information.

7. Perform the following for field wiring: a. Check the field wiring for proper conductor sizing. b. Verify that all incoming and outgoing power wiring is secure, well

supported, and braced to withstand the effects of a fault current as detailed in Chapter 4 on page 49

For incoming line compartments of eight modules or less: firmly secure incoming cables halfway between the top of the column and the incoming line compartment terminals.

For full-line (24 modules) incoming line compartments: Brace the cables every 300 mm if the available short circuit current is <42,000 amperes RMS symmetrical.

Brace the cables every 150 mm if the available short circuit current is ≥42,000 amperes RMS symmetrical,

c. Check the integrity of all field connections.

Recommended torque values that are not found on individual devices can be found on wiring diagrams.

d. Check field wired connections that are made to the MCC.

See wiring diagrams and verify that proper clearances between adjacent phases and/or phases to PE are being maintained.

8. Verify that the voltage and kilowatt ratings on the motor correspond with the MCC unit ratings.

80 Rockwell Automation Publication 2500-IN001F-EN-P - April 2021

Chapter 7 Commissioning

9. Verify that proper overload relays are installed and/or adjusted to relative full-load current shown on the motor rating nameplate.

10. For applications that require power fuses, install fuses in fusible switches in accordance with application requirements.

IMPORTANT

Do not apply grease or NO-OX-ID to fuse ferrules.

11. Adjustable circuit protective devices in MCCs are set to the lowest trip setting when shipped from the factory. Verify that the trip settings of these devices are set in accordance with application requirements.

High efficiency motors can have higher locked rotor and inrush currents, which require higher magnetic trip settings.

ATTENTION: Rockwell Automation® AC drives and soft starter units are shipped with preset factory settings such as ramp speed, current limits, switch positions, and readouts. Preset factory settings are not suitable for some applications. For specific startup guidance, see the instruction manuals that are supplied with the MCC.

12. Set and verify adjustable current, voltage and other settings, according to device instructions or wiring diagrams.

See the device instruction sheets or manuals that are supplied with the MCC for specific startup guidance.

Component devices in MCC units (such as transfer switches, power factor correction capacitors, transducers, motor protectors, line monitors, over and undervoltage relays, and motor windings heaters) can require unique startup procedures.

13. Manually exercise all switches, control auxiliary switches, circuit breakers, their respective operators, unit interlocks, trip mechanisms (to test, push the Push to Trip button) and any other operating mechanisms to verify proper operation.

14. Check timing relay settings as required.

15. Verify that the vents are free from obstructions.

16. Check that fans that are used for forced air cooling have: a. Shafts that rotate freely b. Blades with no dust or debris build-up

17. Check that all filters are in place and clean.

We recommend that you establish an in-house program for scheduled cleaning or replacement.

18. Check all current transformers for proper polarity. a. Verify that the transformer secondaries are NOT open, and are either

connected to their respective devices or shorted. Reference individual unit wiring diagrams and schematics for proper installation.

ATTE NT IO N: Current transformer secondaries shall not be ‘open.’ To avoid possible injury and electrical shock to personnel, do not energize a current transformer with its secondary open.

b. Verify that knife disconnect terminal blocks XCT are open before

energizing.

c. Open current transformers during commissioning.

Chapter 7 Commissioning

19. Verify that all barriers and parts that are removed during the installation process have been reinstalled.

We recommend that a barrier checklist is developed including such items as, unit location, and barrier location. Save this checklist for future reference.

20. Before you close the enclosure and/or individual units, remove all tools, metal chips, scrap wire, and other debris from the MCC interior.

If there is an accumulation of dust or dirt, clean out the MCC by using a brush, vacuum cleaner, or a clean, lint-free rag. DO NOT use compressed air—it redistributes contaminates on other surfaces.

21. Verify that all withdrawable units are in the Connected position. Before you close and latch unit and wireway doors, verify that wires are

not pinched. Column closing plates must be in place.

ATTENTION: When you conduct an electrical insulation resistance test, isolate equipment sensitive to high test voltages, such as meters, solidstate devices, motor winding heaters, capacitor units, and transformers.

22. Conduct an electrical insulation resistance test to verify MCC wiring integrity. Conduct this test with an insulation resistance tester with a potential of 500…1000 V.

ATTENTION: Verify that all switches or circuit breakers are in the OPEN/I or Off/O positions before an electrical resistance test is conducted.

Conduct this insulation resistance tester test phase-to-phase, phase-toPE and, when applicable, phase-to-neutral on the MCC bus work. Typical insulation resistance values are 50 MΩ or greater.

Temperature, humidity, or dampness can affect insulation resistance values and considerably lower insulation resistance readings. If the insulation resistance values are less than 1 MΩ (due to dampness, temperature, or humidity) or the MCC has been stored in a damp or humid area, it is recommended the equipment be dried out. Dry out motor cables with a low voltage current or by using space heaters.

Once the equipment is dry, repeat the insulation resistance test. The minimum value for insulation resistance on a new installation at startup or energizing is 1 MΩ. These readings can be recorded in Table 13 on

page 103.

Next, check the field wiring (for example, motor cables and/or incoming line cables).

Commissioning Procedure

Chapter 7 Commissioning

ATTENTION: Only skilled personnel with proper personal protective equipment

can commission a motor control center. Energizing an MCC for the first time is potentially dangerous. Serious damage and/or personal injury can occur. Follow EN 50110 requirements, and local codes and guidelines.

ATTENTION: This procedure is provided as a general guideline to energize a newly installed CENTERLINE® 2500 an MCC and be used only after the

pre-commissioning checklist has been completed.

Read this procedure in its entirety before beginning the commissioning procedure. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your Rockwell Automation representative.

1. Review other instructions that are supplied for the proper operation of special units such as AC drives and soft starters, with appropriate and skilled personnel.

2. Verify that main and unit main switches are in the OFF/O position so there is no load on the MCC.

Also, verify that associated remote devices are de-energized.

3. Latch doors and secure covers.

4. Energize the MCC remote power source. If the MCC has a main circuit breaker or disconnect switch that can be

operated from a remote location, energizing from the remote location is recommended.

If the MCC main circuit breaker or disconnect switch cannot be energized from a remote location, follow the procedure below.

• De-energize the remote power source

• Close MCC main disconnect or circuit breaker switch.

• Re-energize the MCC remote power source.

ATTENTION: Main switch handles must be operated with a firm, direct motion into the closed (ON/I) position.

5. Energize from the source of the system, working toward the loads. Energize one unit at a time, beginning with control units then feeder

units.

6. Withdrawable units can be commissioned in the Test position. This position helps allow control and network connections to be tested without engaging 3-phase power.

See Chapter 6 on page 67

7. After the disconnect devices have been closed, loads such as lighting circuits, motor starters, and contactors can be energized.

a. When power factor correction capacitors are energized with the motor

windings and the startup procedure requires that the respective motors be jogged or inched, temporarily disconnect the power factor correction capacitors. For more information on power factor capacitors and MCC units, contact your local Rockwell Automation representative.

b. Verify that acceleration times are within application specifications.

for more information on operating positions.

Excessive starting currents and/or acceleration times can cause inverse time circuit breakers, power fuses, overload relays, and other components to overheat and/or shut down equipment.

EtherNet/IP Motor Control Centers

Basic information is provided in the following sections. For additional information, see CENTERLINE® 2500 Motor Control Centers with EtherNet/IP™ Network, publication 2500-TD003

Connection Count

The EtherNet/IP network can accommodate a vast number of nodes. The EtherNet/IP network does not have a specific maximum number of nodes like other fieldbus networks. The limit is based on the number of connections the EtherNet/IP scanner can make.

To estimate the number of connections a network uses, visit the Rockwell Automation Control Systems Configuration Tools website at

https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/support/product/productselection-configuration/integrated-architecture-builder.html for our

EtherNet/IP Toolkit.

Cable Length Limitations

The EtherNet/IP network uses fiber or copper twisted-pair wiring. The maximum length of copper twisted-pair wiring is 100 m between devices. There is no cumulative length for the entire network. Fiber cable length varies by cable design. Inside the MCC, all cables are copper twisted-pair.

IMPORTANT

The 100 m maximum length must account for Ethernet cable inside the column. To help determine cable lengths for your application, each MCC is shipped with documentation that identifies the cable length that is used within the MCC. This cable length must be added to the length between the GracePort® and the externally connected device.

Cable Routing

Each EtherNet/IP network has one or two Stratix® 5700 switches typically mounted in the top horizontal wireway in the standard configuration. The number of switches depends on the number of units in the column. Cables connected to the switch are then routed to EtherNet/IP devices in the column. Up to 24 EtherNet/IP ports can be provided in each CENTERLINE 2500 column.

In a standard MCC column, the vertical network wireway has EtherNet/IP connections equal to the number of units (up to 24) for that column. Devices that require 24V DC to power up must have it supplied through pins B4 and B5 in the control plug.

IMPORTANT

Pins B4 and B5 in the control plug are reserved for 24V DC power; avoid using for other reasons.

Connection to the EtherNet/IP network and the control plug is made when a unit is in the Connected or Test position.

If you add or remove a unit from the EtherNet/IP system, it does not interrupt the operation of other units in the system.

Ethernet Power Supply

IMPORTANT

A power supply unit that meets EtherNet/IP requirements can be supplied with the MCC. A cable connects the output of the power supply to pins C3 and C4 of the control plug in the network wireway. This cable is already connected when the power supply unit ships installed in the MCC. Redundant configurations are also available.

Many EtherNet/IP components require 24V DC power source to operate. The power supply must be EtherNet/IP compatible as specified in the ODVA requirements.

Power supplies that do not satisfy both preceding points can result in damage to the EtherNet/IP signal and components, and failure to comply with local codes and inspection.

Connect Power Supplies–Remote or in the MCC Lineup

Connect power supplies according to guidelines to minimize voltage drops in the EtherNet/IP system while providing proper supply voltage to system devices. For detailed connection instruction, see the Converged Plant-wide Ethernet Design and Implementation Guide, publication ENET-TD001

Network Power Supply and the Protective Earth Circuit

The EtherNet/IP network is grounded at the various components via the component ground. Therefore, no further grounding is needed for the Ethernet cables.

IMPORTANT

Do not connect the 24V DC common in the power supply bucket to the PE. Doing so violates the grounding guidelines for the various EtherNet/IP components.

Connecting Two Power Supplies

Install an additional 24V DC Class 1 power supply for MCC lineups with 14 or more columns. When using two supplies, provide a break between the two 24V DC networks. Locate the appropriate break for the two networks and verify that the terminal blocks are not connected between these two columns.

System Design Installation Checklist

When you install an EtherNet/IP MCC, verify the following before you apply power to the network:

• Only one power supply is connected for every 14 sections of MCC.

• The power supply for the system is 24V DC.

• The PE is connected.

• Connections are inspected to detect and correct any loose wires, opens, or shorts.

Network Power Supply and the Protective Earth Circuit

The DeviceNet cable must be connected to the PE circuit at only one location. The ideal choice is at the power supply. Connect the power supply and 24V DC common (black wire) to the PE circuit by using #8 AWG wire.

Best PE Practice

• If the power supply comes installed in the MCC, the black 24V DC common terminal is connected to the PE within the unit.

• To improve the connection, use #8 AWG green wire and ground the black 24V DC common terminal to a stable PE external to the MCC or to an optional true earth (TE) connection inside the MCC.

• If the power supply is external, the same recommendations apply.

Connecting Two Power Supplies

An additional 24V DC Class 1 power supply must be installed for MCC lineups with more than 14 columns. When using two supplies, the red conductor between the power supplies must be broken. Locate a linking connector between columns and disconnect the red conductor.

Connect only ONE of the two power supplies to the PE.

Position each power supply so it feeds a maximum of seven columns to the left or right (see the following sample lineup).

MCC lineups with more than 14 columns could exceed the 75 m trunk length limit to support 500 Kbps communications. When the trunk length exceeds this limit, specify 250 Kbps communications.

Chapter 9 IntelliCENTER Options

Electronic Data Sheets (EDS) This section applies to any MCC with IntelliCENTER software that is installed

on a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP network.

After IntelliCENTER software is installed, an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) must be registered for each unique device in the MCC. This section details how to perform that task.

Overview

EDS files are simple text files that are used by network configuration tools— such as RSNetWorx™, RSLogix 5000, or IntelliCENTER software—to help identify products and easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe device type, version, and configurable parameters on a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP network.

Where to Find EDS Files

The IntelliCENTER data CD has a directory (<cdrom>:\<order>\<item>\EDS) that contains the EDS files necessary for the devices in your IntelliCENTER MCC. The installation program automatically registers the EDS files.

An ‘EDS file’ CD is provided with EDS files for all DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP products that are found in MCCs.

Installing EDS Files

EDS files are installed with a program from Rockwell Software® called ‘RSHWare.exe’. This program is included on the IntelliCENTER data CD and in the same directory as the EDS files.

Follow these steps to install EDS files for a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP network.

1. Run the program ‘RSHWare.exe’.

2. Click Add/Remove.

3. Select Register an EDS file and click Next.

4. Select Register a directory of EDS files.

5. Browse to the EDS directory on the data CD.

6. Click Next. The Installer displays the test results.

7. Click Next to continue. You can change the graphic image for each device.

8. Click Next to continue. The Installer displays the final task summary.
