A generic interface for a module, method of providing a generic interface, and a module controller system providing a register slave having a generic interface are described. The interface includes an addressable interface, a control interface, and a module interface configured to interact with two or more module configurations. The interface has multiple operating modes at least one of which includes a monitor mode. The method includes receiving an address from a register master identifying the module address to be monitored, reading the received module address content from the module, and transmitting the read content to the monitor port. The system includes a register master, a register slave connected with the register master and adapted to connect with the module, and a monitor port connected with the register slave to receive the monitored module address contents. The register slave configured to interact with two or more module configurations and having a monitor mode for monitoring a specified module address.
