This is exactly what I mean.
Data set to 1 comes back to 0 if I stop "forcing" it to 1 state.
None of the fieldbus I've played with have never behaved in this way
So if I stop writing I get back different data respect what I wrote.
Even if I've yet workarounded this buffering my output area I still 
consider this a sort of mistake.
