Explicit Message Communications

You can send service requests to DeviceNet masters and slaves made by other manufacturers and
OMRON slaves (C200H I/O Link Units, CS-series DeviceNet Units, etc.) with the use of explicit mes-
sages defined for DeviceNet.
Service requests to read/write CPU Unit status and I/O memory can also be received from PLCs with
C200H-series DeviceNet Units (C200HW-DRM21-V1), PLCs with CVM1/CV-series DeviceNet Units
(CVM1-DRM21-V1), PLCs with CS/CJ-series DeviceNet Units, and DeviceNet masters made by other
manufacturers using explicit messages.
Additional Information
A specific command (2801) is used to send explicit messages.
Item
Network com- You can use the SendCmd instruction using com-
munications mand code 2801 hex to send explicit messages to
instruction DeviceNet Units.*
Remote devices • DeviceNet masters and slaves made by other
and supported manufacturers. Supported services determine
functions supported functions.
* A specific command (2801) is used to send explicit messages.
Additional Information
This CJ-series DeviceNet Unit (CJ1W-DRM21) contains a PLC Object so that the I/O memory of
the CPU Unit of this DeviceNet Unit can be read/written from other devices. The C200H I/O Link
Unit (C200HW-DRT21) and CS-series DeviceNet Unit (CS1W-DRM21(-V1)) also contain a PLC
Object so that you can read/write the I/O memory of the CPU Unit of the C200H I/O Link Unit
from other devices. The C200HW-DRM21-V1 and CVM1-DRM21-V1 DeviceNet Master Units,
however, do not have PLC Objects, the I/O memory of the CPU Unit for these Units cannot be
read or written from other devices.
