the host (MASTER) send a MESSAGE + CRC to the controller
(SLAVE);
2.
the controller answer with an ANSWER + CRC to the host.
<STX> (Start of transmission) = 0x02
<ADDR> (Unit address) = 0x80 (for RS 232)
<ADDR> (Unit address) = 0x80 + device number (0 to 31)
(for RS 485)
<WIN> (Window) = a string of 3 numeric character indicating the
window number (from '000' to '999'); for the meaning of each
window see the relevant paragraph.
