NOTE
The switching mode and the settings can be changed by executing a teach function by
means of a multifunctional input (

Teachable settings (“Teach”)
Both the “4-20 mA” and “0-10 V” analog output functions have two teach functions
available that can be executed to scale the analog output in accordance with the
application requirements.
Teach function
Description
4 mA
The “4 mA” teach function can be used for the “4-20 mA” output function
to teach in the current distance value for the analog output of measured
values with 4 mA.
20 mA
The “20 mA” teach function can be used for the “4-20 mA” output function
to teach in the current distance value for the analog output of measured
values with 20 mA.
0 V
The “0 V” teach function can be used for the “0-10 V” output function
to teach in the current distance value for the analog output of measured
values with 0 V.
10 V
The “10 V” teach function can be used for the “0-10 V” output function
to teach in the current distance value for the analog output of measured
values with 10 V.
NOTE
Depending on whether the larger distance value is taught in for 4 mA or 0 V, or for
20 mA or 10 V, the analog output behavior is either “rising” (distance for 4 mA or 0 V <
distance for 20 mA or 10 V) or “falling” (distance for 4 mA or 0 V > distance for 20 mA
or 10 V).
6.4.4.1.3
Manual settings
Setting
Description
4 mA
The “4 mA” setting can be used to manually set the distance value in
millimeters to be output with 4 mA at the analog output.
20 mA
The “20 mA” setting can be used to manually set the distance value in
millimeters to be output with 20 mA at the analog output.
0 V
The “0 V” setting can be used to manually set the distance value in millime‐
ters to be output with 0 V at the analog output.
10 V
The “10 V” setting can be used to manually set the distance value in
millimeters to be output with 10 V at the analog output.
Q
a
Logic
With the “Q
a
Logic” setting of the output behavior you can manually select
whether the analog output curve will be “rising” (
“falling” (
).
If the output behavior is modified, the sensor automatically exchanges the
values set for 4 mA and 20 mA, or 0 V and 10 V, accordingly.
NOTE
Depending on whether the larger distance value is taught in for 4 mA or 0 V, or for
20 mA or 10 V, the analog output behavior is either “rising” (distance for 4 mA or 0 V <
distance for 20 mA or 10 V) or “falling” (distance for 4 mA or 0 V > distance for 20 mA
or 10 V).
