1 = Blocked
NET MVI network number used for data block transmission.
REMNODE Remote node number.
In master mode: node number of slave.

CYCLETIM Defines the cycle time of the protocol command
execution in multiples of 100 ms.
Alternative values: 0 (no cyclic execution), 4, 8, 16, 32,
64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384,
