4.10.2 Read Input Registers (FC04)
Function code 04 (FC04) is used for reading the status of the Gripper (robot input). Examples of such data are
Gripper status, object status, finger position, etc. For example, this message asks for registers 0x0000 (0000) to
0x0006 (0006) which contain all the robot input statuses.
Request is:

The Gripper register values are updated at a 200Hz frequency. It is therefore recommended to
send FC04 commands with a minimum delay of 5ms between them.
