The status of the "reception done" flag may change while a scan is being carried out. For
example, if the flag is used more than once as an input condition, different statuses may exist
within one scan. To ensure proper execution of the program, the status of the special internal
relay should be copied to a variable at the beginning of the program.
Buffer statuses
The following shows the statuses of the send and receive buffers when the sample program is
run.
Status of the send buffer before sending:
16#53 16#25(S) (%)

Offset
At the end of transmission, the value in offset 0 is automatically reset to 0.
