Legacy Mode Feature - This allows users to take advantage of a simple mode of operation (as it is for the PCS-100) where it is not necessary to teach a position but instead you just monitor presence or absence within a specific swing angle (much like it is for the PCS-100), however, this angle can be easily changed electronically. Also, the swing angle of the Sensor it is not limited to 170° or so (as it is on the PCS-100) but instead you can go about 350° on either the PCS-350 or the PCS-ER+
Variable Tolerance Feature - The PCS-350 and the PCS-ER+ NOW also offer Variable Tolerance of the detecting angle from ±1° to ±20°. This is particularly useful when trying to monitor different tool diameters within the same setting and want to avoid getting false positive feedback from the sensor.
