3.5.3 Dynamic TEACH
Dynamic TEACH sets a single switching threshold during machine run conditions. Dynamic TEACH is recommended for
applications where a machine or process may not be stopped for teaching. During Dynamic TEACH, the sensor takes
multiple samples of the light and dark conditions and automatically sets the switch point at the optimum level.
