Triggering a Message Using a Block Transfer Write
Message/Variable/Slave Run Mode - Block Transfer Write Length
can be 3 to 13 words. If Length is set to 0, a default length of 13 will
be used. The DL40 Plus always interprets the last word as a slave
address. If more than 13 words are sent, the DL40 Plus interprets the
thirteenth word as a slave address and ignores the rest.
Note: Word 13 = 0 tells the DL40 Plus to use the slave address
selected as a message attribute.
