The safety-related information of this function (request of function yes/no) can be
provided via the digital outputs (signal level Low/High) as well as in the process data via
the IO-Link interface.

3.7.3 Window function – Double safety-related zone
This function detects objects outside a defined distance window during distance deter‐
mination. The limits of the distance window are signaled by a switching point close to
and far from the sensor (see 3 and 4). This creates two separate safety-related areas.
The signal level LOW indicates the requesting of the safety-related function, i.e., the
active state has been reached due to entry of an object into one of the safety-related
areas. An additional configurable hysteresis of the switching points (see 5) provides
the necessary tolerance in both switching ranges to prevent premature switching back
to the inactive state.
