4) Heartbeat 100ms Update
a) The Heartbeat 100ms Update variable can be used as a heartbeat that updates once every
100ms. The variable starts at 0 on gateway startup and increments by 1 every 100ms. This can
be mapped into a destination on one of the available protocols to monitor the gateways
connection status. If the value stops updating every 100ms the gateway is offline.

6) XY_NetBmpStat
a) If a protocol is a Client/Master, there is a Network Bitmap Status that is provided on the
Diagnostics Info page under the Variables section.
b) Since a Client/Master may be trying to communicate with multiple devices on the network, it
may be beneficial to know if a Server/Slave device is down. By using this Network Bitmap Status,
you can expose the connection statuses of individual devices. Values shown are in HEX.
i)
0x00000002 shows that only device 2 is connected
