Example of an Explicit Message Using RSLogix 5000
If the connection path to the recorder is configured using RSLinx, the connection path is
changed to an automatically named pathname (GX of ETHERNET-MODULE GX shown in
the figure below in this example). If the recorder is not configured, the I/O Configuration tree
does not show ETHERNET-MODULE GX. The connection path in the Communication tab is
not replaced, either.

Lastly, configure the message launch logic. In the example shown in the figure below, the
MSG block is launched and writes data to the recorder when the WriteMessageBit is On. At
the same time, the WriteMessageBit is changed to Off and writing is ended.
