Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by examining the existing CommandTS path and the Python/C PLC integration described in the issue. Done is not defined beyond deciding, through a simulation, whether the bit-mask approach is quicker.

Description
From Steven Beaumont at Faraday:
The approach that I would probably use in your case would be to
1:- Monitor a M or P variable from a PLC
2:- Change specific bits of the M or P variable from your ‘C’ program
3:- When your PLC sees the bit pattern change it would act upon it through an IF THEN statement then reset the bit pattern
Which approach is the quickest I couldn’t tell you without running a simulation
