1Arrays are not supported for structures other than ASCII strings.
2Control bits should be treated as read only and modified only under PLC program control. Modifying these bits from a computer can give unpredictable results.
3Only Varying length strings are supported.
4Write operations are not allowed to structures other than to ASCII strings.
