Control bytes
All three basic types contain a 2-byte block with the most important binary information for
controlling the circuit breaker. This is transferred with each frame.
The three basic types differ in the scope and content of the data reported by the circuit
breaker to the class 1 master (e.g. PLC) with each Data_Exchange. From the perspective of
the PLC, this data is by definition input data.
