• Class (hex)/(dec)
Possible Classes are 0…FF (hex). 
See Volume 1 of the CIP Common Specification for the list of 
defined Classes. 
You may either enter in a hexadecimal Class value in the (hex) 
field or a decimal Class value in the (dec) field.
• Instance (hex)/(dec)
Possible Instances are 0…FFFF (hex). 
See Volume 1 of the CIP Common Specification for the list of 
valid Instances for each Class. 
You may either enter in a hexadecimal Instance value in the 
(hex) field or a decimal Instance value in the (dec) field.
• Attribute (hex)/(dec)
Possible Attributes are 0…FF (hex). 
See Volume 1 of the CIP Common Specification for the list of 
valid Attributes for each Class. 
You may either enter in a hexadecimal Attribute value in the 
(hex) field or a decimal Attribute value in the (dec) field. Note 
that if the value of the Attribute is set to 0, the DeviceNet 
scanner does not transmit an Attribute byte. Some Service Codes 
require that a zero-value Attribute byte be transmitted. For these 
Service Codes, the first byte of the Send Data must be set to zero 
and the Size of Send Data (Bytes) must include this additional 
byte.
