Chapter 8 EXPLICIT MESSAGE
8.1 Overview
Explicit Message is a communication process that accesses DeviceNet variables at arbitrary (event-driven)
timing. Using this option is capable of accessing not only standard DeviceNet variables but also all inverter's
function codes. Explicit Message lacks realtime performance, but it allows many variables to be set or referred
to. It is, therefore, suited for initial setting.
Refer to the user's manual of the connected master for Explicit Message.
- Variables usable in Explicit Message are grouped using three codes--Class (major key), Instance
(medium key) and Attribute (minor key). These three codes should be used for specifying a variable.
- A group of all variables contained in Class is called "Object."
8.2 Objects to be Used in Explicit Message
This section describes objects relating to this option and the inverter. Other objects that are automatically
executed by the master device are excluded in this manual.
(1) Identity object (Class 01 hex.)
This object refers to the product information of this option. It is a group of read-only variables.
