Get Diagnostic Status from Modules by Using 
Explicit Messaging
This appendix provides information about how to use CIP Generic Message 
instructions (sometimes called Explicit Messaging) to get diagnostic status 
information from the modules.
You can implicitly obtain individual point status of the Guard I/O™ module 
from the Module Definition dialog box by choosing Pt. Status from the Input 
Status pull-down menu.
