The packet offset, total transaction (in elements), and size (in elements)
are all two bytes. The PLC-5 system address can be a logical binary
address or a logical ASCII address containing up to 51 bytes of
specification.

The STS and EXT STS bytes contain status and error code information.
For more information on these bytes, see the “Error Codes” section in this
document.

The Typed Read and Typed Write commands for the PLC-5 are similar to
the Word Range Read and Word Range Write for the PLC-3. The
differences are:

The PLC-5 Typed Read/Write commands replace the data parameter in

the request or response with a type/data parameter.

The PLC-5 commands use elements, not words (i.e., timer elements

return five words, counter elements return three words, etc.).
