Description of operation
The “Blocked Beams Hold (BBH)” evaluation mode is activated by a trigger signal on
the hardware input or via IO-Link. If this evaluation mode has been activated, any
beams that have been blocked are saved and displayed as blocked beams. Once the
evaluation mode is deactivated by a withdrawal of the trigger signal, the blocked beams
are reset to made beams.
You can select the “Blocked Beams Hold (BBH)” evaluation mode for each individual
beam function or for multiple beam functions simultaneously. As a result, beam func‐
tions for which the “Blocked Beams Hold (BBH)” evaluation mode was configured are
calculated based on this evaluation mode.
