Explicit Message Program
Control for SLC Use the Explicit Message Program Control feature to configure
device parameters on your DeviceNet network via the M0 and M1
files in the SLC processor that is controlling these devices.
You can use the Explicit Message Program Control feature to:
• Transmit configuration data from your scanner module to its slave
devices on your DeviceNet network.
• Receive status and diagnostics from these devices on your
DeviceNet network.
• Make runtime adjustments to device parameters according to
changing conditions detected by your processor.
