devicenet command

Hello ,
i am developing an application on the Digital IO control, and i am
implementing a DiscreteInputPoint and DiscreteOutputPoint objects in
the devicenet stack .i have a confusion, that is what will be the
commands sent by a master to a specific DiscreteInputPoint .
To put it neatly have a DiscreteinputPoint object which shall
implements GetAttibuteSingle function .if the master wants to know the
status he will ofcourse send a command, what will be the structure of
the command,ie what master will send in the parameter of
getattributesingle function
sorry for my bad english
kindly reply 
Regards
PMM

Typically, a master device gets data from a slave using one of
the Predefined Master/Slave Connection set messages which are "I/O"
messages.  But that would not involve using the GetAttributeSingle
service.

In order to use the GetAttributeSingle service, the client (not
necessarily a master) would use "explicit" messaging.  The explicit
message protocol is defined in section 4-2 of Volume 1 of the
DeviceNet Specification.  The message body of an explicit message
request message typically contains the service code followed by the
class code, the instance number, and finally the service specific
data.  The service specific data of the GetAttributeSingle service
is the attribute ID of attribute you wish to get.

Assuming, for example, that the explicit message connection was
created to use 1 byte class codes and 1 byte instance numbers, then
the message body of the request to GetAttributeSingle the Value
attribute of instance 1 of the Discrete Input Point Object would
look like this:

Service Code (GetAttrSingle), Class Code (DIP), Instance (1),
Attribute ID (Value).  Or specifically:
0x0E, 0x08, 0x01, 0x03

Thanx 
I think i need to read the spec again
