4.7.3.1  Teach-in  
In this mode the sensor can be teached through wire teach. Depending on the sensor type different modes 
are available. This is explained in the MAL of the corresponding article. The MAL can be found on the 
product page of each article. 
4.7.3.2  Multiplex (MUX) Mode 
 Link the control pin of both sensors to each other. While the first sensor is measuring, the second is 
disabled. After the first measurement is completed, the second sensor is allowed to send and receive its 
signals. In maximum ten sensors can be interconnected. The multiplex function increases the sensor 
response time, the specified value increases with the number of connected the sensor (number of connected 
sensors x response time).
