How to Configure an Explicit Message

Explicit Message
Explicit Messaging with ControlLogix
In the ControlLogix platform, explicit messaging can be done easily from within
a logic program. The request and response is configured within the MSG
function. The MSG function can be found in the Input/Output tab of
RSLogix 5000.
Setting Up the MSG Instruction
A tag name must be given to the MSG function before the rest of the information
can be defined. In this example a tag was created with the name explicit_mess.
After the instruction has been named, click on the gray box to define the rest
of the instruction.

Message Requests and uploading Explicit Message Responses. The message
format is shown in Figure76.
