10, 11 | State (MSB, LSB) If the MSB of the preceding Status field is 0x18 (Invalid Channel B State) or 0x1D (Invalid Channel A State), then this field indicates the component state. If the State value is greater than 0xFF (255), then it is truncated to 0xFF. If the MSB of the preceding Status field is neither 0x18 nor 0x1D, then the value in this field is 0x0000. If the preceding Status field is a positive acknowledgement, this field does not apply.
