8.3.3 Acyclic commands
8.3.3.1 Overview of the commands
8.3.3.2 WRITE_ACYCLIC_TRANS
This function activates different arts of acyclic transfer (S-7.4, S-7.5 and safety 
monitor). The results have to be read out with READ_ACYCLIC_TRANS. Even 
though this function runs in the background and doesnt hold the master during the 
transmission, it ist intended to act as a substitute for (RD_74_75_PARAM, 
WR_74_75_PARAM, RD_74_75_ID, RD_74_DIAG and „Safety at Work“- monitor 
diagnnostic).
Since the transferred data can be longer than the command interface, it is written 
into the buffer. The content of the buffer can be read in parts from index.
n is the length of the part string, that (from Index (i)) should be written in the buffer. 
The transmission proceeds, if i=0.
