Message
Timeout

Message timeout is specified in seconds. If the target does not
respond within this time period, the message instruction will generate
a specific error. The amount of time that is acceptable should be based
on application requirements and network capacity/loading.

Target Type

You can select either Module or Network Device. If you need to
message to a device on the DeviceNet network, select Network
Device. If you need to message to a DeviceNet parameter on the
scanner, select Module. This allows the control program access to
module parameters. Many of the module parameters are not editable,
and some can be edited only when the module is in Idle mode.

Local Node
Address

This is the target device’s DeviceNet node number.
