4.3 Switching Signal Channel (SSC)
The sensor features three different switching channels. Switching Signal Channels SSC1 and SSC2 are
reserved for distance measurements, whereas Switching Channel 4 has a counter function with an auto-
reset. All switching channels can be adjusted via IO-Link. All switching channels can be mapped to the MDC
as well. Then they will show the counts detected by the channel.
For more information about how to set-up the Counter/SSC4 channel and its behavior, please see section
4.3.4.
4.3.1 Setpoints SP
Using this parameter the user can modify the switchpoint of the sensor by entering the distance value at
which the sensor should switch (teach-by-value function). For the reflex barrier the parameter
“Reflector.Position” defines the position of the reflector. Figure 5 shows the illustration of the switch point.
For Single point mode only SP1 is relevant, SP2 is not active. For the Window mode SP1 & SP2 are active.
The switching modes are explained in section 4.3.2.1

under the condition that the window switch for SSC1 is activated.
