When the data area read command "%01#RDD00000 00001**
C
R
" is sent from the FPΣ side, 
the values of the data register of the PLC connected to the system are sent as a response. 
For example, if the value 100 is stored in DT0 and the value 200 is stored in DT1 of the PLC, 
"%01$RD6400C8006F
C
R
" is sent as a response to the command. If there is an error, 
"%01!OO**
C
R
" is returned (OO is the error code). 
In addition to data area read and write commands, MEWTOCOL-COM also provides contact 
area read and write as well as many other commands.
