This section describes the process used to learn what controller-scoped tags
are located in the Logix 5000 controller by retrieving the Symbol Name and
Symbol Type attributes for each instance of the Symbol Object.
The Get_Instance_Attribute_List (0x55) service returns instance IDs for
each created instance of the Symbol class, along with a list of the attribute
data associated with the requested attributes.

The maximum size of a packet does not return all instances and attributes in
a single request. To retrieve all instances, the client application must issue a
series of requests to the controller and adjust the starting instance with each
request.
This sequence describes how client application retrieves all the instances:
1. Set initial instance to zero.
2. Send request.
3. When General Status = 06 is returned, there is more data to read. To
determine the last instance sent in the reply, parse the data received
from the Logix 5000 controller to find the last instance ID returned.
