relay with 2 coil

normally all contact will refer to the coil, how to do with the relay having 2 coil? how to segregate the contact? how to put this 2 nos of coil and seperated contact in the database (default_cat.mdb & relay pin assignment) because normally we are using 1 coil and all contact will refer to that.
attach here the picture for your understanding.

In the help file of AE (2008) there is this explained:

------------
"Setting up PEER_COILPINS and PEER_PINLIST
The PEER_ fields in the Pin List database specify pin list assignments for a single part number with two parent devices. You set up the second coil's coil pins and pin list data in the PEER_COILPINS and PEER_PINLIST fields for the common part number. This is commonly used for setting up forward and reversing starters or latching and unlatching relays. You apply the pins to the forward (latching) relay, and then apply the peer pins to the reversing (unlatching) relay.

To split the pin list data between two peer coil symbols:

1) Insert the first coil symbol and make the catalog look-up selection.
The COILPINS and PINLIST data is found and applied to the coil symbol. Any defined peer coil and pinlist data is also saved on the symbol as invisible xdata.

2) Insert the second coil symbol but do not make a catalog assignment.

3) In the Insert/Edit Component dialog box, click NO/NC Setup.

4) Click Pick.

5) Select the first coil symbol.
The saved peer pinlist data is moved from the first symbol over to this peer symbol. Child contacts can now be auto-annotated with the selected coil's available pin list information and max NO/NC count tracked on a per-coil basis."

Also a little extra, but then more on BOM for those is on the blog from Nate Holt.
