Are you having trouble with your software not displaying the additions you make? This issue may arise when trying to select items for an IO configuration. Keep in mind that EDS files are not the sole requirement in some cases. Depending on the device, you may also need to install the AOP.

When trying to add a PowerFlex 525 to an IO configuration, it is important to note that EDS files are not the only necessary component. Depending on the device, you may also need to install the AOP. This could explain why the software is not displaying the modules or EDS files that have been added, as seen in your situation. Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this issue.

Daniel expressed gratitude for the assistance provided regarding the addition of a PowerFlex 525. Despite installing the EDS file, he encountered an issue where the software only showed default modules or EDS instead of the ones he added. To address this, it is recommended to download the Add-On Profile (AOP) for PF525 from the compatibility and download site and proceed with the installation.
