Teach-in mode Dynamic Teach-in
Automatic teach-in of the switching points
Manual Teach-in
Manual teach-in of
the switching points
Application End position detec‐
tion:
Automated teach-in of
2 switching points
via Dynamic Teach is
intended for end posi‐
tion detection on a
pneumatic cylinder.
Gripper status detec‐
tion:
The automated teach-
in of 3 switching
points via Dynamic
Teach is intended for
gripper status detec‐
tion.
Other applications:
If neither only the end
positions on a pneu‐
matic cylinder nor grip‐
per statuses are to
be taught in automat‐
ically, manually teach‐
ing switching points is
recommended.
Measuring range The measuring range of the sensor must cover
the complete stroke.
The measuring range
of the sensor must
NOT cover the com‐
plete stroke.

For dynamic teach-in of 2 switching points via Dynamic Teach, it is assumed that the
end positions of a piston should be detected in a pneumatic cylinder. If the 2 switching
points are to be placed randomly within the measuring range, we recommend teaching
in the 2 switching points manually via Manual Teach.
For dynamic teach-in of 3 switching points via Dynamic Teach, it is assumed that 3
statuses of a pneumatic gripper should be detected during the gripping process.
•
Status 1 “idle”: Gripper open without object (external gripper) / Gripper closed
without object (internal gripper)
•
Status 2 “object”: Gripper closed without object (external gripper) / Gripper open
with object (internal gripper)
•
Status 3 “noobject”: Gripper closed without object (external gripper) / Gripper
open without object (external gripper)
If the 3 switching points are to be placed randomly within the measuring range, we
recommend teaching in 3 switching points manually via Manual Teach.
8.3.1 Dynamic Teach-in
Dynamic Teach-in is used to have the sensor automatically set the switching points.
The sensor detects the movement stops and then assigns the respective switching points to the found positions.
(The positions must be at least 1mm apart to be detected as two different positions).
The initial position of the piston when Dynamic Teach-in starts is NOT regarded as the first stop!
NOTE
The magnet must be moved at a speed greater than 0.025m/s so the Dynamic Teach-in to works correctly.
