Hi all,

Re [PR233](https://github.com/apache/plc4x/pull/233). I aim to use PLC4c with 
digital twins (codegen'd Simulink models) for metal industry and have it talk 
to Siemens S7 PLCs. Currently use a customized version of libnodave but PLC4x 
is interesting as it (eventually) works with multiple PLCs & has a C 
implementation.

In PR233 I have added a loopback test (write values->read them back -> check 
they match). That's all I need for above use case. To do this I will/did:

- Added write functionality (as in PR) this took a fair bit of time, mostly 
getting to understand the existing code/datatypes/debugging slowly
- this morning added error checking to the write responses.
- I see the read responses are not really checked so I will add this
- Will check/chase any memory leaks

That's all. After that a few tests in MATLAB/Simulink. If that goes well I can 
probably help on other protocols in PLC4c.

Cheers,
Thomas
