Mailbox Communication
Mailbox requests are built and sent through ladder logic according to the data
listed in the BLD_MB routine.
The module immediately responds with a confirmation message consisting of the
Mailbox Out Message Response to the processor.
After the mailbox request is processed by the module, it sends the Mailbox In
Message to the processor. Note that the ladder should refer to the command
data to copy the mailbox response to the correct data file. For example:
command = 02 => Set Operating Mode Response 1
