Sending SMS-TAP
The TAP function of the library gives the possibility to the system to send Short
Messages. This can be very useful for the system to signal an event or alarm to the
maintenance staff.
The protocol used for this SMS function is the TAP and the function allows sending
Messages with a maximum of 250 characters. Some TAP-Service provider allows a
smaller maximum of characters to send.

The TAP function is associated with an TAP Data Block. The Data Block is divided in
two areas. One is reserved for internal use of the function and the other area contains
the information about the application. The TAP function also need to access the sub-
function of the FC700 (Modem Driver sub-function). The synchronization between the
Modem Driver and the TAP function is made by the S7-application.
