Function Code 20
EXPLANATION
ICN is a proprietary communication network used for peer-to-peer communication
between the MOD 30 instruments, MOD 30ML, Modcell and the LCP (Local Control
Panel). The ICN allows up to 16 addresses (in most cases 16 instruments) on the network.
Each instrument needs to have a unique address on the ICN (0 thru F). The ICN is updated
every 250 ms.
