4.4.1 Communication Model
4.4.1.1 Message Groups
CAN messages are divided into several groups in order to achieve different
priorities.
•
message group 1 serves to exchange I/O data via I/O messages
•
message group 2 is reserved for Master/Slave applications
•
message group 3 serves to exchange configurations data via explicit mes-
sages
•
message group 4 is reserved for system administration (i. e. Offline Con-
nection Set)
The CAN Identifier (Connection ID) and with it the priority is built via differ-
ent message groups and the MAC ID.
4.4.1.2 Message Types
DeviceNet has 2 types of messages:
•
I/O Messages and
•
Explicite Messages
4.4.1.2.1 I/O Messaging
I/O messages are sent by a node and can be received by one or several other
nodes. Only I/O data is transmitted and no protocol data is specified by this
way.
4.4.1.2.2 Explicit Messaging
Explicit messages are sent directly from one node to another. They consist of a
request and an answer. Therefore services can be requested directly from an-
other node. The data field consists of the service identification and the destina-
tion address. The format of the explicit messages is defined. Via explicit mes-
sages devices can be configured or a dynamic built-up of message connections
can be made.
