This function allows reading INTEGER values of sizes 8, 16 and 32 bits.
To communicate with a specific slave, use its address and the functions EC_SDO_READ and EC_SDO_WRITE.
To read data from the slave you must specify an SDO index and a sub-index.
The first sub-index is 0. If the object has only one sub-index, you must still specify 0 (this field cannot be omitted)
The read value is returned from the function and can be set to a variable.
