6.1.4 Explicit Messaging
Explicit Messaging is used in commissioning and parameterizing of the EtherNet/IP device. Explicit
messages provide multipurpose, point-to-point communication paths between two devices. They
provide the typical request/response-oriented network communication used to perform nodecon-
figuration and problem diagnosis. Explicit messages typically use low priority identifiers and con-
tain the specific meaning of the message right in the data field. This includes the service to be
performed and the specific object attribute address.
NOTE! If Class 1 connection (cyclic data) has been established then Explicit Messages cannot be
used to control Output Data. However this restriction doesn’t apply for IO Data reading.
