Status	read-only	Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling. `{ok}` indicates that the component is licensed and polling successfully. `{down}` indicates that the last check was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property, or possibly loss of network connection. `{disabled}` indicates that the `Enable` property is set to `false`. `{fault}` indicates another problem. Refer to `Fault Cause` for more information.
Fault Cause	read-only	Indicates the reason why a system object (network, device, component, extension, etc.) is not working (in fault). This property is empty unless a fault exists.
Poll Service	additional properties	Configures the frequency with which the driver polls points and devices. “Poll Service properties” in the Niagara Drivers Guide documents these properties.
Max Devices	max
Enabled	`true` or `false`	Activates (`true`) and deactivates (`false`) use of the object (network, device, point, component, table, schedule, descriptor, etc.).
