PartnerStatus
The optional PartnerStatus object can be used to monitor the reachability of up to 8
communications partners (DNP3 master stations). The status is made available to the CPU
in an output byte. One bit per communications partner is reserved in the output byte to
indicate the status of the partner:
If TD7onTIM has a connection to more than 8 partners whose status needs to be monitored,
the "PartnerStatus" system object needs to be configured more than once.

Partner
In the 8 selection boxes, the communications partners to be monitored are
assigned to the 8 status bits of the output byte. The list boxes display only
the partners with which the TIM can actually communicate; in other words, to
which a connection was configured.
Status = 0: Problem on partner or bit not assigned
Status = 1: Partner OK
