-* `$read_data(num, ident, add_data)` - Read any kind of data from another block with the given number _num_. 
+With the `$send_cmnd(num, ident, add_data)` function, you can send commands to and retrieve data from another block with the given number _num_.
-  _ident_ specifies the data to be read. 
+The possible commands can be classified in two groups: Commands for reading data and commands for triggering an action.
-  _add_data_ is for additional data and normally not needed.
+Please note, that this is not a technical distinction, only a logical.
-  The result is block dependent (see table below):
