Explicit Messaging Services

Overview

Every explicit message performs a service. Each service is associated with a service code (or number). You will need to identify the explicit messaging service by its name, decimal number, or hexadecimal number.

You can execute explicit messages using either the SEND_REQ function block in Control Expert, or the Control Expert Ethernet Configuration Tool.
