40008 int16 iHeartBeat
This Heartbeat is provided to facilitate detection of communications problems in programming environments where the transport-
layer communication error information is unavailable. This increments approximately every 5 seconds.
It is the responsibility of the system integrator to notify plant personnel if a Modbus master fails to communicate with the XNX. This
register can facilitate this notication.
