Implicit Messaging Output

The Implicit Messaging Output object streams live scan data from GoPxL to the PLC. It maps to the Sample State register assembly, which includes Stamp, MeasurementValue, and String blocks 0x04, Attribute 0x03, Instance ID 101 (0x65).

The structures of the Implicit Messaging Input Large and Implicit Messaging Input block. The main differences are as follows:

The Implicit Messaging Input block allows up to 63 bytes to be used for a file name with the Load Job File command and user data for the Set User Input Data command.

The Implicit Messaging Input Large block allows up to 63 bytes for a file name with the Load Job File command, or up to 492 bytes for user data with the Set User Input Data command.

Information	Valu
Register Assembly	Sample State register assembly
Supported Block Type Identifier	Stamp, MeasurementValue, String
Class	0x4
Instance	101 (0x65)
Attribute Number	3
Max Size of Register Assembly	376 bytes

Stamp Block

The Stamp block provides frame-level metadata useful for alignment, timing, and synchronization across devices. Values reflect the most recent frame acquired by the system

Field	Type	Offset (bytes)	Value
Z Position	INT64	0	Encoder position at time of last index pulse of the last frame.
Encoder Position	INT64	8	Encoder position at time of scan capture.
Time	UINT64	16	Unique, monotonically increasing timetick of the last frame. Time (µs) = Timetick / 1.024
Frame Index	UINT64	24	Frame number of the last scan.
Digital Input States	UINT8	32	Bitfield of digital inputs:Bit 0 = Digital Input 1Bit 1 = Digital Input 2
Buffer (reserved)	UINT8[3]	33-35	Reserved. Unused padding bytes.

Measurement Value Block

The MeasurementValue block returns the actual scan measurement value.

Field	Type	Offset (bytes)	Value
[measurement value]	INT32	0	Measurement value ×1000. For example, 12.345 mm is sent as 12345. If the value is invalid, this field is set to 0x80000000.

String Block

The Stringblock returns the string scan output.

Field	Type	Offset (bytes)	Value
[string value]	STRING	0	String value. Unused space will be set to null (0x0). The string is otherwise not null terminated. If invalid, the block’s buffer is entirely set to null, equivalent to an empty string. The string will be truncated if the block’s size is smaller than the length of the string. Block size is 8 bytes by default and can be configured in the GoPxL UI.

STRING

String value. Unused space will be set to null (0x0). The string is otherwise not null terminated.

If invalid, the block’s buffer is entirely set to null, equivalent to an empty string.

The string will be truncated if the block’s size is smaller than the length of the string.

Block size is 8 bytes by default and can be configured in the GoPxL UI.
