delivery is not guaranteed. For this reason, implicit messaging is only suitable for applications where
occasional data loss is acceptable.
For detailed information on setting up implicit messaging using Allen-Bradley PLCs, see

The following sections describe the implicit messaging assemblies.
Assembly Object (Class 0x04)
For implicit messaging, the Gocator Ethernet/IP object model includes the following assemblies: implicit
messaging command and implicit messaging output.
All assembly object instances are static. Data in a data byte array in an assembly object are stored in the
big endian format.

Description
A bit mask where setting the following bits
will only perform the action with highest
priority*:
1 – Stop sensor
2 – Start sensor
4 – Perform stationary alignment
8 – Perform moving alignment
16 – Clear alignment
32 – Set runtime variables
64 – Load job file
*The priority of commands is currently as
follows:
1. Stop sensor
2. Start sensor
3. Perform stationary alignment
4. Perform moving alignment
5. Clear alignment
