Systems and methods for detecting states are disclosed. An information handling system may include a processor and a plurality of information handling resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the common control line. The processor may be configured to produce a first signal on a common control line. Each of the plurality of information handling resources may include a tag having a signal threshold, the tag configured to communicate a second signal via the common control line indicating the presence of the particular information handling resource in response to the first signal exceeding the signal threshold of the tag.
