LEN is the length of the complete package, including both SEQ and LEN. LEN is therefore always equal
to N + 4 where N is the number of data bytes contained in the package.
To reconstruct the Data item being read you just have to concatenate the Data part (Data byte 1, …) of
each package, from first package (SEQ = 1) to the last package (SEQ = -K).
Example: Assuming that a complete cycle data consists of the 10-character string "ABCEDFGHIJ"
should be read using an 8-byte buffer then the below data transfer will occur when the cycle
data is requested (all data is written in Hexadecimal notation):
