Data File 3 – Bit
File 3 is the bit file, used primarily for bit (relay logic) instructions, shift
registers, and sequencers. The maximum size of the file is 256 1-word
elements, a total of 4096 bits. You can address bits by specifying the element
number (0 to 255) and the bit number (0 to 15) within the element. You can
also address bits by numbering them in sequence, 0 to 4095.
You can also address elements of this file.

Your programming device may display addresses slightly different than what
you entered on the HHT.
The HHT and APS always display the Bf/b format in XIO, XIC, and OTE
instructions.
