Sets the judgment method for object detection.
Selectable Options
Selectable option Function description
Standard (default value) This is the standard mode.
The received light amount exceeding or falling below the threshold is judged to indicate
that an object is or is not present, and output to an external device is generated.
Edge height Select Edge height for edge detection based on the differential.
Output is generated only when the difference of received light amounts exceeds the set
range.
Not used Disables the control output, so that it does not operate regardless of the received light
amount and threshold.
For details on Edge height, refer to “3-7-5 [S7] - [D2] Threshold Mode “Edge height”” (page 3-47).
