combined. The four possible combined states of these points are: (1) Off; Off indicating

that the ternary point is Off; (2) On, Off indicating that the ternary point is On, (3) Off, On

indicating that the point is in its third state (for example moving) and (4) On, On which is

an invalid state and indicates the presence of a fault.
