Relay control (like voting logic) is implemented by the main module
instructing the auxiliary module on how to set its relay outputs in any
particular circumstance. However, to guard against the situation where a main
module or link failure prevents proper instruction from reaching it, on
detecting a communication link failure the auxiliary module sets any fail-safe
relays to their alarm state (de-energized). This function is an automatic/
autonomous action by the auxiliary module.
As the special functions (126 and 127) are not the result of Voted alarms, there
is no definition of type - suggest fail-safe is adopted for these. Local Relay
Control also includes a Latching bit, to give a latching control to these special
functions.
0x00 defines the relay as disabled, multiple sources not allowed.
