Create interlock switch

You can create an interlock switch either between a Disconnector with the object category Disconnector with earthing and an Earthing switch or between two disconnectors with the object type Disconnector with automatic transfer (ATS). Both of the objects must in both cases be connected to the same bay. When the interlock switch is created, a maneuver on one of the switches will automatically lead to a reverse maneuver on the other.
