Hy,

I have a 45MLA-CTRL-CAN Light Array controller from Rockwell. It uses Canbus protocol.

I can not find the EDS file for this controller anywhere on the internet. I checked PCDC site as well.

This is the link to the controller: https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/details.45MLA-CTRL-CAN.html

I would really appreciate any help/suggestion/direction. Without the EDS file, I can not integrate this light array controller to my project.

Thank you all!

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure EDS files are for Ethernet/IP communications, not CAN. If that's the case, I would not expect to find an EDS file. If you're trying to connect it to a PLC, I suspect you'll need some sort of gateway device.

If you're trying to get a CAN Device into an AB PLC, look at something like this:

He should read the manual no mention of EDS files and they also so step by step setting everything up.
The only excuse I can see is that Rockwell forces you to log in with an account to get the documentation. I am not sure if it is free you you need to pay to do that.
