nn = two byte ASCII number representing the soft
starter address where each decimal digit is
represented by n.
lrc = two byte longitudinal redundancy check in
hexadecimal.
ccc = three byte ASCII command number where
each character is represented by a c.
dddd = four byte ASCII number representing the
current or temperature data where each
decimal digit is represented by d.
ssss= four byte ASCII number. The first two bytes
are ASCII zero. The last two bytes represent
the nibbles of a single byte of status data in
hexadecimal.
pppp = four byte ASCII number representing the
parameter number where each decimal digit
is represented by p.
vvvv = four byte ASCII number representing the
parameter value where each decimal digit is
represented by v.
