NX-series EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit User’s Manual (W536)
Response Format
When a response is returned from the destination device on the network, the EtherNet/IP Coupler
Unit sends the response (a TCP/IP message or UDP/IP message) to the device on Ethernet that
sent the command.
The response format is shown below.
The examples of values in the table are the parameter values in little endian when the Vendor ID
(instance attribute ID 01 hex) in the Identity object (class ID 01 hex) is read.
Parameter

Message
sequence
number
0 2 Numbers are set to differentiate frames when there is more
than one send frame.
An arbitrary value is assigned by the device that sends the
message. The same value is stored in the corresponding
response.
Setting range: 0 to 65535
0000
Reserved 1 2 2 Always set to 0. 0000
Data size 4 2 The data size from Reserved 2 to the end of the data is set.
The unit is bytes.
Setting range: 6 to 498
0800
Reserved 2 6 1 Always set to 0. 00
Service code 7 1 The service code for the destination object is set. The service
code that is set here is sent to the destination node as is.

Class ID 8 2 The class ID of the destination object is set. The class ID that
is set here is sent to the destination node as is.
0100
Instance ID 10 2 The instance ID of the destination object is set. The instance
ID that is set here is sent to the destination node as is.
