I/O Messaging (Implicit Messaging)

I/O Messaging, also known as Implicit Messaging, is used for point to point or multicast and to transmit application specifi c I/O
data. Implicit messages are exchanged across I/O connections with a Connection ID (predefi ned path as fi rst defi ned in RSLinx

®

and then RSLogix

®

). The Connection ID will defi ne where the MW100 is located (IP Address), the Ethernet port on the PLC

through which to communicate, as well as what points are considered inputs or outputs.

The following picture shows RSLinx

®

setup to communicate to the Ethernet device MW100 (this connection points to an MW100

on the network).

Once a device is confi gured inside of RSLinx

®

, it can be added to the RSLogix

®

project. In the case below, ETHERNET-MODULE

MW100 points to the networked MW100.
