Introduction

This Application note explanes, how to configure a generic modular adapter, when the entry for "ProxyConnect" is not described in the Ethernet/IP Slave Device Description (EDS).

Please refer to the following FAQ: "Why does my modular EDS file not work?" → https://kb.hilscher.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=18616112

As an example the Allen Bradley Point I/O Module Adapter "1734 AENT" is used, together with the fitting Point I/O Modules "1734 IB8" and "1734 OB8E".

The EDS File of each module is needed for further configuration of the Generic Modular Adapter.
