The inductive proximity sensor is supplied as an additional component. It serves to
detect metallic objects on the floor and is used for continuous-path control. It reads
out signals of varying strength depending upon whether it is located in the middle or
at the edge of the metal strip. Path tracking can thus be controlled in a differentiated
fashion.
The inductive proximity sensor must be attached to the mounting furnished for this
purpose, and must be connected to the I/O interface.
