I have heard of people programming in RSlogix 500 with integers as outputs instead of binary bits. why would this be used and how would you use this in a proper setting

While becoming more obsolete as an example due to network interfaces, used to you would programm a numeric BCD display at the word level instead of the bit level since you are using them together to display a number

I have heard of people doing this also in conjunction with a sequencer instruction.  Shift to a new sequence of bits and then just copy the resulting word to outputs.  Not something I would suggest emulating!
