The values 0xXX01 thru 0xXX06 are shown because these are the possible logical values used for inter-module communication. External networked devices (PLC or PC) monitoring these registers may; depending on their scan rate, not actually see each of these values change in sequence as a Carton is conveyed from zone to zone, even though the inter-module communications and ZPA is functioning normally.
