7.5.4 Non-cyclic (explicit) data transfer
Non-cyclic or explicit messaging is used to read and write parameters non-cyclically by 
means of assembly objects. All of the AC Drives profile attributes can be accessed 
using explicit messaging.
The Control Techniques objects provide access to all drive and slot parameters using 
the following format.
7.5.5 Cyclic (implicit or polled) data transfer
Cyclic data is a method of data transfer that must be setup during network configuration, 
but is transmitted automatically at the determined rate once configuration is complete.
EtherNet/IP transfers cyclic data using assembly objects, “cyclic data” is sometimes 
referred to as “Polled data” or “implicit data”.
The terms “input” and “output” refer to data from the perspective of the PLC, an “output” 
assembly object transfers data from the PLC to the drive, an “input” assembly object 
transfers data from the drive to the PLC.
7.5.6 Configuring EtherNet/IP cyclic parameters
In order to use cyclic data over EtherNet/IP, the EtherNet/IP interface must be 
configured to map the required parameter data to the assembly object.
For drive parameter access, object 100 (0x64) is used for reading parameters and 
object 101 (0x65) is used for writing parameters. The pre-defined assembly objects as 
listed in Table 7.8 Supported drive assembly objects  can also be configured as cyclic 
data.

An instance value of 0 is not a valid value in this context, therefore an instance value of 
200 (0xC8) should be used to access menu 0 parameters. For more information on the 
Control Techniques object see section 7.5.22 Control Techniques objects on page 178.
Some PLCs provide the option of transmitting a configuration assembly object. The 
Ethernet interface does not use a configuration object; if one is required by the PLC then 
instance 1 should be specified with a length of 0 bytes.
