+## Array reads
+
+PR 7 — one PCCC frame can carry up to ~120 words. Address an array tag with either the
+Rockwell-native `,N` suffix or the libplctag-native `[N]` suffix on the word number; both
+forms canonicalise to `[N]` when the driver hands the tag to libplctag, and the parser
+caps `N` at 120.
+
+```powershell

+
+Array tags reject sub-element references (`T4:0,5.ACC`) and bit suffixes (`N7:0,10/3`) at
+parse time — both combinations are semantically meaningless against a contiguous block.
+
+For `B`-files the Rockwell convention is "one BOOL per word, not per bit": `B3:0,10`
+returns `bool[10]` (one per word's non-zero state), not `bool[160]`.
