9.1.5 Explicit Messaging
Explicit Messaging is used in commissioning and parameterizing of the EtherNet/IP board.
The explicit messages provide multipurpose, point-to-point communication paths between two
devices. They provide the typical request/response-oriented network communication used to
perform node configuration and problem diagnosis. The explicit messages typically use low priority
identifiers and contain 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, the Explicit Messages should not be
used to control the Output Data. However this restriction does not apply for the IO Data reading.
9.1.5.1 List of data types
The elementary data types in CIP are (among others):
LEDs State Summary Requirement
Steady Off
No IO connec-
tion
When IO connection is not opened or it has
been closed, this LED will be off.
Steady green
IO connection
open
When IO connection is open and in RUN
state, the LED will be green.
Steady red
IO connection
in IDLE mode
When IO connection is open but in IDLE
state, then the LED will be red.
