NI-DNET User Manual
The following tables describe the general format of DeviceNet explicit
message requests and responses as they appear on the DeviceNet network.
Table A-2. Explicit Message Request
This number identifies the service requested by the client.
The DeviceNet Specification defines valid service codes.
This number identifies the class to which the service is directed.
The DeviceNet Specification defines valid class IDs.
This number identifies the instance to which the service is directed. If
the instance ID is zero, the service is directed to the entire class. If the
instance ID is one or greater, the service is directed to a specific instance
within the class.
Data bytes specific to the Service Code. The number and format of these
data bytes is defined by the specification for the service.
Table A-3. Explicit Message Response
This number indicates success or failure for execution of the service. If
this number is the same as the Service Code of the request, the service
executed successfully. If this number is 14 hex, the service failed to
execute due to an error.
If the service executed successfully, this field contains data bytes which
are specific to the Service Code. The number and format of these data
bytes are defined by the specification for the service.
If the service failed to execute, the first byte of Service Data contains
a General Error Code which describes the error, and the second byte
contains an Additional Error Code which qualifies the error. The
DeviceNet Specification defines valid values for the General Error Code
and Additional Error Code.
The DeviceNet Specification defines a set of services supported in a
common way by different devices. These common services include Reset,
Save, Restore, Get Attribute Single, and Set Attribute Single.
