OK Output:
The OK output is set if the PLC CPU was successful in handing off the
COMMREQ to the Ethernet Interface.
FT Output:
The FT output is set if the PLC (rather than the Ethernet Interface) detects

Command to be performed by the Interface.
The address in CPU memory of the Command Block is specified by the IN input of the
COMMREQ Function Block. This address may be in any word-oriented area of memory
(%R, %AI, or %AQ). The Command Block is set up using an appropriate programming
instruction (the BLOCK MOVE Function Block is recommended).
