Global data - is it bits or bytes

>MB1150:20 (on PLC0)
to
MB1150:20 (on PLCA)

I know that it starts at address M1150.0.

Is that the next 20 bits, or the next 20 bytes?

Cheers

Any Clues as to what software you are using?

If it is bytes, then the programmer has reserved bits from M1150.0 to M1169.7 for global data tranfer.

If it's bits, then the programmer has reserved bits from M1150.0 to M1152.3 for global data transfer.

In the latter case, why would anyone do it that way? Cutting off the reservation half way through a byte?
