This is toggled using the Auxiliary relay M8161. When this relay is OFF 16 bit communications
takes place. This actually means that both bytes of a 16 bit data device are used in both the
transmission and the receipt of messages. If the M8161 device is activated then 8 bit mode is
selected. In this mode only the lower 8 bits (or byte) is used to perform the transmission-
receiving actions. The toggling of the M8161 device should only occur when the RS instruction
is not active, i.e. it is OFF.
When a buffer area is specified in the RS instruction it is important to check whether 8 or 16bit
mode has been selected, i.e. a buffer area specified as D50 K3 would produce the following
results.......
