"Beam Location" Modes
First Beam Blocked (FBB)
The location of the first blocked beam.
First Beam Made (FBM)
The location of the first made (unblocked) beam.
Last Beam Blocked (LBB)
The location of the last blocked beam.
Last Beam Made (LBM)
The location of the last made beam.
Middle Beam Blocked (MBB)
The location of the beam midway between the first and last blocked beams.
"Beam Total" Modes
Total Beams Blocked (TBB)
The total number of blocked beams.
Total Beams Made (TBM)
The number of beams made.
Contiguous Beams Blocked (CBB)
The largest number of consecutively blocked beams.
Contiguous Beams Made (CBM)
The largest number of consecutively made beams.
Outside Dimension (OD)
The inclusive distance (measured in beams) from the first blocked beam to
the last blocked beam.
Inside Dimension (ID)
The number of made beams, between the first and last blocked beams.
Transitions (TRN)
The number of changes from blocked to clear status and from clear to
blocked status. (If beams 6-34 are blocked, then there is a clear-to-blocked
transition from beam 5 to bream 6, and a blocked-to-clear transition from
beam 34 to beam 35.) Transition mode can be used to count objects within
the array.
Contiguous First Beam Blocked (CFBB)
The location of the first blocked beam in the largest group of adjacent
blocked beams.
Contiguous Last Beam Blocked (CLBB)
The location of the last blocked beam in the largest group of adjacent
blocked beams.
Carpet Nap and Carpet Edge
These measurement modes are used to measure the location of carpet
backing and tuft, and are selectable only via the IO-Link interface, and only
when the Scan Type Carpet Nap is selected. The modes can be measured
from either end of the sensor, but at least 10 beams (2 in) must be blocked
from one edge.

2.11 Analog Output Configuration

Analog output configuration assigns analog outputs 1 and 2 to one of the measurement modes described in
Selection. When the selected measurement mode involves first or last beam blocked or made (unblocked), the assigned output will vary
in proportion to the beam number identified during a scan. When the measurement mode involves total beams blocked or made, that
assigned output will vary in proportion to the total beams counted during a scan.
Analog outputs may have Null and Span values set in the IO-Link interface, in addition to a filter setting (to smooth the output) and Zero
Value (to specify the output value when the measurement mode value is zero). Refer to
Analog Output 2 Configuration.
