### PLCBUS OBJECT ### 
#####################
# This is a generic replaceable object
# This object needs the following methods:
# 
# Initialize() 
# 
#   What it does:
#     any Object initialization you may need.
#     
#   When is this called:
#     Upon Object creation.
#     
#   What you will get:
#     nothing.
#     
#   What you will return:
#     nothing.
#     
# 
# dceCommandIn(cmd)
#   
#   What is does:
#     sends you a command object to allow you to create gsdOut().
#     
#   What you will get:
#     cmd (Command Object)
#   
#   What you need to return:
#     nothing (ignored)
#     
#   When you will get this:
#     executed when a new DCE command is sent to you.
# 
#     
# dceResponseIn(cmd)
#   
#   What it does:
#     Sends you a DCE object to compare with the command.
#     
#   What you will get:
#     cmd (Command Object)
#   
#   What you need to return:
#     TRUE if you accept this response.
#     FALSE if you do NOT accept this response.
#     
#   When you will get this:
#     executed when a new DCE response is ready.
# 
# 
# gsdCommandIn(value)
#   
#   What it does:
#     sends you a String to allow you to create a dceOut().
#     
#   What you will get:
#     value (String Object)
#   
#   What you need to return:
#     nothing (ignored)
#     
#   When you will get this:
#     executed when a new GSD command is sent to you.
# 
#     
# gsdResponseIn(value)
# 
#   What it does:
#     Sends you a GSD Response to compare with the command.  
#   What you will get:
#     cmd (Command Object)
#   
#   What you need to return:
#     TRUE if you accept this response.
#     FALSE if you do NOT accept this response.
#     
#   When you will get this:
#     executed when a new GSD response is ready.
#
# dceout() 
#   
#   What it does:
#     Creates a Command Object to send to DCE.
# 
#   What you will get:
#     nothing.
#     
#   What you need to return:
#     a Command Object representing the previous gsdCommandIn.
# 
#   When is this called:
#     After a gsdCommandIn has been sent.
# gsdout()
# 
#   What it does:
#     creates a String Object to send to GSD.
#     
#   What you will get:
#     nothing.
#     
#   What you will return:
#     a String Object representing the previous dceCommandIn.
#
#   When is this called:
#     After a dceCommandIn has been sent.
# 
# 
# Properties:
# 
# @responseAccepted
#   
#   What it does:
#     signals that the current response is accepted as valid.
#   
#   When you should set this:
# 
# @responseNeeded
# 
#   What it does:
#     signals when you need a response.        
#   
# @commandHolder
#
#   What it does:
#     If you need to create a new command, this is the holder for it.
