The interface is directly processed by the sensor and outputted as
digital output signal.

The display of PLICSCOM and PACTware outputs the distance to the
interface (d1) in m(d).

Power is supplied via the H1 Fieldbus. A two-wire cable according to
Fieldbus speciﬁcation serves as carrier of both power and digital data
for multiple sensors. This cable can be operated in two versions:

via an H1 interface card in the control system and additional power
supply

via a Linking device with HSE (High speed Ethernet) and
additional power supply according to IEC 61158-2
