● Units digit: Function number
– 1 to 2 for NC contact

31, 22, 13:

● Second digit: Number of NC contacts

The terminal designations of the 1-pole auxiliary switch blocks consist of identification
numbers (location identifiers) on the basic unit, and function numbers on the auxiliary switch
blocks.
