4.3.3  Timefilter 
This changes the timing of the switching signals, for example to avoid bouncing/suppress false switching 
operation. The ability to directly parametrize and configure the timing on the sensor itself, removes the need 
to have additional coding on the PLC or to use pulse stretching adapters. 
The described time filters can be configured and applied to each SSC individually. 
4.3.3.1  Response Delay Time 
The response delay time defines the time, the measurement value needs to be above (single point mode) or 
inside (window mode) the switchpoints of the related SSC until its status changes to active (or inactive, if the 
logic is inverted as described in section 4.3.2.1) 
When to apply? 
-  To avoid the detection of small peaks/false switching operations due to structure changes of the 
background or similar. 
-  To avoid wrong switching of known disturbances such as the wheel of a mixer 
-  To avoid bouncing. 
-  To optimize the timing of the execution of a subsequent actor triggered by the output of the sensor.
