Installing external accessories
To protect the end positions against uncontrolled overrunning:
Check whether proximity sensors are required (hardware limit switches).
If proximity sensors are used as limit switches:
Preferably use proximity switches with normally-closed function.
These will protect an EGC with a fractured proximity switch cable from overrunning the end position.
If proximity switches are used as reference switches:
Use proximity switches that correspond to the input of the controller being used.
Use inductive proximity switches with switch lug
