Explanation by pcatom given in chat -

It was always in the system ... just not displayed
It is the cross-linking of the 2 beam interlock systems for the 2 beams
each beam has an beam interlock system with many inputs. Some of these would just dump the individual beam - others would dump both beams
therefore the 'output' from the BIS beam1 should also be an input to the BIS beam2 and visa versa
quite a lot of logic behind it :P
