How to Send Explicit Messages

An Explicit Message is compiled using an integer file (for example N10). Format the message
using the following table.
Message Header
Message Data
Once formatted, use the copy command to transfer it to the M0 file. The copy initiates the
explicit message transfer from the scanner to the Ei DeviceNet drive. The Ei drive response
will be placed into the M1 file by the scanner. Using the scanner message received status flag
(in the example of this chapter the location would be I:3/15), copy the M1 file to an integer
file (N11). Once the message has been copied, the results may be examined from the N11 file.
TXID is set at 0x01 for all of the following examples.
PORT will be set to 0x00 indicating a 1 port network.
