The area can be divided into a safety zone and a warning zone.
If an object or a person violates the safety zone, the OSSDs switch to an OFF state.
When at least one warning output was selected during the configuration of outputs, actions
can be triggered (e.g. switching on indicator light unit), when an object or a person enters
the warning zone.
