Config_Upload/-_Download

Using the "Config_Upload" and "Config_Download" instructions, you can read
("Config_Upload") or write ("Config_Download") the configuration of the RFID181 EIP
reader and RF600 reader communications modules connected to this controller.
The configuration data is not interpretable data. Save the data on the controller so that it
can be written to the reader again if a device is replaced. When multiple readers has the
same configuration, you only have to save the configuration data once per reader type. A
single backup can be copied to all identically configured readers during the download.
Bytes 6-9 (see table below) contain a configuration ID with a unique version identifier.
With the configuration ID, when performing a "Config_Upload", you can check whether
the configuration data read matches the configuration data stored on the controller. You
can also use the device status to check the serial number to see if the device has been
replaced.
The configuration data has the following structure:

"Config_Upload/Config_Download" can be executed on every channel of the RF600. It is
always the same configuration data that is transferred. The configuration data of the
RF18xC/RF18xCI communications module can be transferred exclusively via the "CM
configuration_1" module.

Based on the identifier, you can uniquely identify the configuration.
This is a time stamp in Linux format.
The time stamp indicates how many seconds have passed since
January 1, 1979, 00:00 (midnight). The identifier is assigned when a
