6-4 Using DeviceNet Explicit Messages
Messaging for the 1747-SDN
Scanner The SLC copies an Explicit Message into the scanner’s M0-file.
When the copy is completed the scanner moves the message into a
queue for processing. Up to 10 Explicit Messages can be in this
queue.
When the scanner receives a response message it is placed into a
queue. The first response in the queue is available from the M1-file.
When the message delete command is copied into the scanner the
message is complete and the next available response will appear in
the M1-file.
The format of Request and Response messages is in Figure 6.2.

The message buffer is composed of two sections:
• Transaction header — three words that contain information
identifying the message transaction.
• Transaction body — in a request, this contains the DeviceNet
Class, Instance, Attribute and Service Data portions of the
transaction. In a response, this contains the Service Data only.
