Example of behavior of a "normally-open" push-pull/PNP switching output in
retroreflective mode
8.2.2
Output Logic
You can use this parameter to set the logic of the switching output.
8.2.3
Output Type
You can physically operate the switching output of the sensor either as a push-pull, PNP, or
NPN output and you can use this parameter to adjust the output.
8.2.4
Switch Point 1
You can use this parameter to adjust the switch point 1 in "mm", measured from the ultrasonic
transducer surface of the sensor.
If switch point 1 is set to a farther distance than switch point 2, the two switch points are virtually
inverted within the sensor. This is done to ensure that the set output mode is working as
intended.

Note!
If the second switching output or both switching outputs for a sensor do not physically exist,
then the corresponding parameter may still be provided and adjusted via the IODD. However,
this parameter has no physical effect in this scenario.
