6.1.4 Aperiodic Communication (Explicit) System
Explicit Message provided in aperiodic communication from XGB EtherNet/IP I/F module means clear and explicit
message. This message also means that all information which is possible to translate data to date frame. Thus, even
though it takes some time to translate frame, if the message we want is sent without the process of setting parameter,
frame is translated from server and the response is made.
In general it is utilized as monitoring data to aperiodic data rather than control data.
The following table shows the parameter items set up when XGB EtherNet/IP I/f module is used.
