1. When a Modbus/TCP client established a new connection to
the MEP card, output process data status initially is set invalid
at the MEP. The output data status changes to valid, as soon as
all parameters at output process data list are written at least
once. The output data status then remains valid, until the TCP
connection is closed or terminated.
2. Special Register Addresses mentioned above, only can be used
without any offset. Example: It is not allowed to use address
0x7FF2 for accessing second output process data item.
