In monitor mode, the bits do not update and are always 0. Aliases to the bits are provided
by the configuration tool for compatibility with master mode.

Aliases for these bits have names like

APACS_SlotStatus_R01S04

for the bit associated with the module in rack 1 slot 4.

Use the aliases to access the status bits.

TIP

If the ControlLogix loses communication with the QTS-CLX-APACS, it
sets the first four bytes of connection 0 to FF hexadecimal (11111111
binary).

Monitor these four bytes to determine if there is a problem.
