Explicit Message – A message used to transmit
commands, data, requests for data or
responses. The message is sent from a client
on the DeviceNet network to a server on that
network.
Request – An explicit message sent by a client
to a server requesting the server to perform
a function.
Response – An explicit message sent by a
server to a client in response to the client’s
request. For every request issued, there is a
response.

1. Format an M0 file transfer in the processor to send an Explicit
Message Request to the scanner module (download).
2. The scanner module transmits the Explicit Message Request to
the slave device over the DeviceNet network.
3. The slave device transmits the Explicit Message Response back
to the scanner and is queued into a file transfer buffer.
4. The processor uses an M1 file transfer to retrieve the Explicit
Message Response from the scanner’s buffer (upload).
5. Format an M0 file transfer with a Delete Response Command and
the current transaction ID read in step 4. The transaction IDs are
deleted and can be reused.
