0…100.000 mm
Jump direction In teach-in mode, jump detection
Positive
A jump is detected when the measured value jumps to a
higher value, i.e. the contrast value becomes brighter.
Negative
A jump is detected when the measured value jumps to a lower
value, i.e. the contrast value becomes darker.
Both
A jump is detected for both positive and negative.
Negative
Cycle offset In teach-in mode, jump detection
The cycle offset indicates which time-shifted reference mea-
sured value to use for comparison with the current measured
value in order to detect the jump.
1…64 cycles
10
Jump pulse duration In teach-in mode, jump detection
0 = hold
The output remains active until the next jump in the opposite
direction has been detected.
1…1.000 ms
If a jump is detected, the output is activated with the corre-
sponding pulse length.
0
Distance window In teach-in mode, distance + intensity
Distance from set switching point (center of window) to win-
dow limits.
The distance window is symmetrical around the switching
point.

8.5 Condition Monitoring Functions
8.5.1 Status Message Function
The sensor provides various status messages. Due to the process data structure, four status messages
can be transmitted as individual process data.
These parameters can be used to set the status messages that are transmitted via the process data.
