#   This class is used to generate byte-frames, which are needed to communicate with Xtender-Moduls over the RS232-BUS with the Xcom-232i.
#   After generating  the byte-frame, you can use "pyserial" to communicate with the Serial-BUS and to put the byte-frame into the write-
#   method of "pyserial". You can decode also read-frames of the Serial-BUS with this class. 
#
#   This class contains methods to generate read- or write-frames, and methods to decode frames. There are pre-defined types, properties 
#   and formats for the most important parameter- and information-numbers. This reduces the effort for generating byte-frames, but there 
#   are extended methods to generate byte-frames with other parameter- and information-numbers.

        ### Description:
        This method is used to generate a Byte-Frame for a 'read'-instruction. It Returns a bytearray.  

        ### Arguments:
        The **<self>** argument is pointing to the object, which calls the method.

        The **<object_type>** argument indicates the type of the **<object_id>**. The following shows the possibilities:

        This Method return a **list** with two elements. The First is a **boolean** value, which is **True**, if the xtender-system detects an error and the second 
        element of the **list** then contains the error-id. If no error occures, then the first element is **False** und the second element contains the answer of your request.
        The returned value of the second element is a **string**, **int** or **float**, depending of the service (read/write) of the request frame and of the
