4.4 Contacts
A contact is used to monitor the state of a reference address. Whether the contact passes power
flow depends on positive power flow into the contact, the state or status of the reference address
being monitored, and the contact type.
A reference address is ON if its state is 1; it is OFF if its state is 0.
