If proximity sensors are used as hardware limit switches:
Use proximity switches with normally-closed function.
The normally closed function protects the EGSL against overrunning the end
position if the proximity sensor cable is broken.
Avoid external influence caused by strong magnetic fields or ferrite parts
in the vicinity of the proximity sensors. The minimum distance is summarised
in the table below:
