Alarms are configured by writing a code to the register at Address 710 + 2000 * R and then enabled
and disabled by writing a 1 or 0 to the register at Address 704 + 2000 * R. Alarm Status is stored in
registers at Address range 700
– 703, offset by 2000 * R. The code written to Address 710 + 2000 *
R is the sum of a number representing the type of alarm and a number representing the alarm limits
to be monitored.
