Using Messages to Control
SCANport Products
Explicit messages provide multi-purpose, point-to-point
communication paths between two devices. It is possible to control
SCANport devices through explicit messaging on DeviceNet by
following particular guidelines and by writing to various register
objects that are buffering the I/O data. The guidelines are as follows:
• The adapter cannot be allocated by a master/scanner in order to
allow explicit writes to the register object.
