Unfortunately don't have access either, at least not right now. The only thing
i can say for sure is, that these bytes (in this case) have nothing to do with
PN versions.
It's application data, i'm altering these within the PLC program (first two
bytes from AF FE to 11 00) - all other settings remain unchanged.

Maybe the check for 11 is ok, but then (i guess) the structure is different or
there is some other indication for CBA.
