The following is an example of querying Active Converter Status for an NSU2 with a
Backup and two Primary converters connected.
Query Cmd: ?ACS

The reply shows that there are two Primary converters and a Backup converter all with
serial links enabled and no contact errors.
Note: Although all thirteen serial links and all thirteen chain positions are shown, only
converters within the first three positions of the response (Backup, Primary 1 and
Primary 2) can be changed. Attempting to change the state of a serial link or chain
position outside this range will generate an error response “b”: illegal parameter or
parameter out of range, and the action will not be implemented.
