RCT 1000 Coriolis EtherNet/IP Setup

Registering and Using an EDS File in
Rockwell Automation® Studio 5000®

OVERVIEW

Studio 5000 (formally RSLogix 5000) is the design software used to program and configure ControlLogix and CompactLogix programmable
automation controllers and modules. In order for Studio 5000 to recognize a device that is not included with the installation of Studio 5000,
the device’s Electronic Data Sheet (or .eds file) must be registered in Studio.

These are the steps to register a file and add the meter. The example is for an RCT 1000 Coriolis Meter. These are general instructions
intended for personnel who understand ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers as well as the safe operation and program practices of
controllers and the systems that are controlled by the ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers.

Summary of Steps

• Install the meter .eds file into Studio 5000.

• Add and configure the meter in Studio 5000.

INSTALLING AN EDS FILE

1. Download the .eds le from www.badgermeter.com.

2. Open a new or existing project in Studio 5000 and make sure the controller is powered and connected via USB to your computer.

3. To upload the .eds le to Studio 5000, go to the Tools menu and select EDS Hardware Installation Tool. The EDS Wizard opens.

You can use the EDS Wizard to register or unregister a device,
change the graphic associated with a device, or create a file from an
unknown device. In this instance, it is assumed you have a valid .eds
file and are only registering:

4. Select Next.

The Wizard checks the selected file for errors.

8. Make sure the le you selected is the same one being checked. If
so, select Next. If not, go back to step 6.

5. Registering a le is the default option so simply select Next.

Use the registration page to select the number of files to register
and where those files are located. Unless you are uploading a
directory of files, the default option is to register a single file.

6. Click Browse and select the .eds le to upload, or type the
directory path of your le into the Named eld.

7. Make sure the correct le was chosen and select Next.

9. To change the icon for your newly registered device, highlight
the Coriolis Meter and then select Change Icon. Select from the
default set of icons or browse for an icon you have previously
uploaded to your computer. To leave the icon as the default gray
cube, select Next. The icon you select displays next to the
RCT 1000 Coriolis Meter.

A final check ensues. Make sure the uploaded file registers an
RCT 1000 Coriolis Meter.

10. Select Next.

ADDING AND CONFIGURING THE METER

Depending on your controller, you may need to install a separate Ethernet module so the meter can communicate with the controller.

• CompactLogix controllers have the Ethernet connection built in to the controller.

• ControlLogix controllers require a separate Ethernet module to be able communicate on an Ethernet network. Install an Ethernet
module in the chassis and locate the module in Studio 5000. See “Adding an Ethernet Module” on page 8 for instructions.

After the Ethernet module is set up, you must configure the connection to the meter.

12. Right-click on the new Ethernet tab at the bottom of the left menu and select New Module.
