6-2-2 Sending Explicit Messages Using SendCmd Instruction
Additional Information
You can send explicit messages to OMRON slaves and DeviceNet devices made by other manu-
facturers by setting the command code to 28 01.
In this case, set the response monitoring time to at least the value set for the message monitor-
ing timer (default: 2s). If it is set to less than the value, communications may be busy even if the
next command is executed after the first one times out.
