Example: In a baggage handling conveyor of an airport, each bag gets a bar code. Characters 9…17
of the bar code are the flight number and destination airport of the bag. After the bar
code is read (bag_read.EM is set) the MID instruction copies the flight number and
destination airport to the bag_flt_and_dest string.
