The recommended default file for binary elements is file 3 of the data
table. This file accommodates up to 256 binary elements. If your
application requires more than 256 binary elements, specify one or more
files (10 – 255) in the user-defined area of the data table in addition to
file 3.
Each binary element consists of one word. You can address a binary
element in its entirety or you can address any particular data bit of an
element individually.
