4.4.1 Inductive proximity switches
Inductive proximity switches are used to cut off the electrical drive before the final position is
reached. The necessary stopping distance depends on the speed and the braking effort. This
braking distance must at least end between the switch point of the proximity switch and the
actual, mechanical end of position.
