Block Clear
When the Block Clear (BLKCLR_WORD) function receives power flow, it fills the specified
block of data with zeroes, beginning at the reference specified by IN. When the data to be
cleared is from BOOL (discrete) memory (%I, %Q, %M, %G, or %T), the transition
information associated with the references is updated. BLKCLR_WORD passes power to
the right whenever it receives power.
Note: The input parameter IN is not included in coil checking.
