auxiliary contact

Explanation:
I dunno about moveable contact...never heard of it in conjuntion with a disconnect. However, they usually have an auxiliary (a/b) contact to indicate switch position. Look at the reference, where 'Laufkontakt' seems to be used as an input signal for various conditions.
