This setting prevents the input and output from repeatedly switching on and off within a
short period of time and enables the use of a slower PLC.
The delay is increased by the configured time by switching the switching output to
ON
.

The measured value is of equal size or greater than the threshold.
Output switches to OFF.
6
The measured value is below the threshold.
Output switches to ON.
The allowed values are 0 ms (default value) to 4,000 ms.

Setting the switch-off delay (Off Delay)
This setting is used to delay the switching off of the output by a set amount of time if
the measured value falls below the threshold.
This function suppresses short signals (bursts) which prevents inaccurate measure‐
ments.
