Data types
All data types are used in Big Endian format (Motorola format), i.e. the byte with the
highest-order bits is transferred first.
Arrays
• Read single elements: Array index in first DATA-byte
• Write single elements: Array index in first DATA byte and values in following
DATA bytes
• Read all elements: Pseudo array index 255 in first DATA byte
• Write all elements: Pseudo array index 255 in first DATA byte and values in
following DATA bytes
• Response from slave (in case data are sent): Array index or pseudo array index
in first DATA byte and values in following DATA bytes
All elements of an array have the same Min/Def/Max value.
