Purpose: Bidirectional block transfer is the sequential performance of both
operations. The order of operation is generally determined by the module.
Two rungs of user program are required, one containing the block transfer
read instruction, the other containing the block transfer write instruction.
When both instructions are given the same module address, the pair are
considered as bidirectional block transfer instructions. Figure 14.6 shows
an example rung containing a bidirectional block transfer instruction and
the data table areas used by the instruction.
