The processor logic required to implement these messaging mailbox exchanges
will be made simpler after the function blocks are provided.
Sending a mailbox message to the PTQ-PDPMV1 module is a relatively simple
process, however, it is important to follow a certain sequence.
Remembering the PROFIBUS Output Data Memory Map:

40101 %MW101 0 Last in Mailbox Message ID
40102 %MW102 1 Last Alarm Control index

40105
40106 %MW105
%MW106 4 Module CRC32: computed for module data
When the module first starts up or recognizes an
initialization of the processor, it will compare the
values of the two CRCs in the input and output
images. If either one of the CRCs do not match, the
module will be placed in STOP mode. If each set
matches, the module will be placed in OPERATE
mode.

The important section relevant to the Mailbox Messaging discussion is the
Outgoing Mailbox Data section (Word Offsets 2 to 145). Within this section of
data, the following structure exists:
