Function (only with BiSS C protocol)
Safety Application Settings
It is possible to transmit a life counter value in the sen-
sor data for safety applications. When the life counter
is activated, a 6-bit counter value is transmitted in the
sensor data which is incremented with each new sen-
sor data readout. The life counter has a range of 1 to
64.
