Monitoring on the system side
The definition specifies that individual HSPs cannot be used with PCS 7 but can only be
used for HUPs approved for PCS 7.
If an HSP is used without accompanying meta information, the module drivers cannot be
generated. as indicated by the message "Module is not supported by the module driver"
