send commands to a host through the communication
COM1/RS485.
All the commands will be formatted with an "Identier Length
Value" structure as described below:
Identier Length Value
Identier called I This is the identier of the command.
Length called L This is the length of the Value eld in bytes.
Value called V The parameters or data.
The commands will be encapsulated in a packet structure
described on the next gure.
STX ID RC ILV CRC DLE ETX
