Rows with an N/M badge are recorded on N of the M models; the remaining models do not publish that property.

Five sensing distances

Sensing distances of 1.2, 2, 4, 5 and 8 mm cover the different body sizes, so a tight mechanism at 1.2 mm and a distant position check at 8 mm come from one series.

NO and NC, NPN and PNP

Normally-open and normally-closed behaviour is published alongside the NPN and PNP outputs, so the state the safety logic expects is met by the sensor choice rather than in software.
