How many bits is the max for group IO?  I assumed 32 bits but I'm only seeing 16.

    We use 32bit in our IRC5. We send/receive 256 in/out from the Anybus Ethernet adapter and group them in 32 bit Group variables.

    Thanks YoDoug.  I just found my issue to be the UDT on the AB PLC side.

    Interesting note to add.  With newer robotware they no longer have to be contiguous bits, you can split it up.
