Logic), switching point mode (subindex 2 (0x02) Switchpoint Mode) and switching point
hysteresis (subindex 3 (0x03) Switchpoint Hysteresis) can be set via index 61 (0x3D) Qint.1
Configuration. The index for configuring setpoint2 directly follows the index for setpoint1
Qint. 1. The setpoints3 to 8 can be configured from index 16384 (0x4000) to 16410
(0x401A). For manual teach-in, the distance between 2switching points can be less
than 1mm. The only limiting factors here are repeatability and resolution. An exact
description of the manual teach-in can be found in section 8.3.2.
8.4.3.7 Switching point modes
For switching points 1 to 8, the corresponding Switchpoint Mode index can be used to
select between 4 different switching point modes after manual teach-in: Single point
mode, Window mode, Two point mode and Cylinder switch mode (default).
•
Single point mode: The switch-on point is defined by Qint.SP1. For all positions above
this, the switching signal is high. The switch-off point is defined by Qint.SP1 minus
hysteresis. For all positions below this point, the switching signal is low.

Window mode: Qint.SP1 and Qint.SP2 define a switching window within which the
switching signal is high. The hysteresis is symmetrical around each Qint.SP.
