This is an overview of solutions in EcoStruxure Control Expert to implement Ethernet/IP Explicit messaging, specifically with the DATA_EXCH function block.

A typical configuration example is demonstrated, from beginning to end, to make it easier to understand how to setup an M580 controller. The discussion will also provide details on how to correctly configure the DATA_EXCH parameters when the class, instance or attribute values are greater than 255, surpassing the value allowed in a single byte.
