6-1 Receiving Explicit Messages
6-1-1 Overview
Sending explicit messages from the Standard Master to the NE1A-series
Controller enables reading or writing any specified data or parameters of the
Controller. The Controller operates according to the command sent from the
master and returns a response. This function can be used with both
DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP.
The following example describes the I/O area read service provided by the
Controller. Refer to Appendix 3: Explicit Messages for details on the services
that are available.
The format shown here for explicit messages is the format used on the net-
work. Refer to the operation manual of the Standard Master for specific setting
methods for each Standard Master.
