The CEM-2020 provides 10 programmable contact inputs with the same functionality as the contact
inputs on the DECS-250. The label text of each contact input is customizable and accepts an
alphanumeric character string with a maximum of 64 characters.
The remote contact inputs are incorporated into a BESTlogicPlus programmable logic scheme by
selecting them from the I/O group in BESTlogicPlus. For more details, refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter.
BESTCOMSPlus settings for remote contact inputs are illustrated in Figure 33-8.
