If an internal string is chosen, the first character (transaction number) is
incremented on successful completion of the write to inform the module that data
was sent. The value of the transaction number wraps around from 255 to 0.
Execute CALL 28 once to set up the data transfer parameters. Input and output
image bits (word 0, bit 11) for the slot containing the module, are used to initiate
and notify completion of the transfer. The operation is described below:
