Examples for the limitation of the measurement field length:
• Resolution of 5 mm: Measurement field length up to 1280 mm
• Resolution of 10 mm: Measurement field length up to 2560 mm
• Resolution of 20 mm, 40 mm: No limitation of the measurement field length
Cascading/trigger settings (group 7)
NOTICE
A maximum of 256 beams can be processed as a bit!
The IO-Link specification only permits 32 bytes as process data; i.e., up to 256 beams can each be
processed and transmitted as a bit.
Through the limitation of the process data length, the beams, depending on the resolution, can only
be processed and transmitted up to a certain measurement field length as a bit.

To prevent mutual interference, multiple light curtains can be operated with a time offset with
respect to one another (cascade). Here, the master generates the cyclical trigger signal; the
slaves start their measurement after delay times, which are to be set to different values.
