[S7] Detection
Adjust the value of Edge hys. for a range of received light amount below the operation difference to hold the
output on.
For example, if you want to reduce the detection fluctuation caused by vibration, set a larger Edge hys., and
if you want to detect small objects, set a smaller Edge hys.
Example) Output results using the Edge hys. setting (with a through-beam fiber unit)
When the value of Edge hys. is increased, the reset difference of the received light amount
becomes smaller, thus the on output is maintained for a larger range of received light amounts
compared with the operation difference.

This setting parameter is only displayed when Threshold mode ([S7] - [D2]) is set to Edge height.
For details on Edge height, refer to “3-7-5 [S7] - [D2] Threshold Mode “Edge height”” (page 3-47).

Edge hys. (default value:
5)
1 to 9999
The reset difference set with Edge hys. is set by subtracting the set value from the
operation difference.
