7.4.3 Event Sequence Request Blocks (4000 to 4019)
These blocks send Modbus TCP/IP commands directly from controller tags by
ladder logic to the Client Command Priority queue on the module. Event
Commands are not placed in the module's internal database and are not part of
the MNET Client x Command List in ProSoft Configuration Builder.

MVI69E-MBTCP client. The last two digits indicate which client to use.
Example: 4015 uses client 15

address is placed in one of the four registers
TCP service port for message
Modbus node address for the message
