Note
When using S7-PDIAG, you must always indicate "C" for the element type CHAR and "R" for the
element type REAL. For all other element types valid for S7-PDIAG (BOOL, BYTE, WORD, INT,
DWORD and DINT), you must always specify "X".
If you wish to pass one of the ALARM_S blocks more than one associated value, you can send an
array with a maximum length of 12 bytes. This can be, for example, a maximum of 12 bytes or
characters, a maximum of 6 words or Int or a maximum of 3 double words, real or DInt.
