How can i wire induc. proximity sensor to x7 for auto focus?

[typomaniac]

Hey,

i want to upgrade my diy laser which is running with the lo x7 dsp. I bought a LJ8A3-2-Z/BX inductive proximity sensor for using autofocus on my machine.
The sensor has three wires. I know how to wire this to an arduino (6V, GND, Signal) but i do not how how i can use it with the dsp as a switch for the z axis
and therefore for autofocus. How can i wire and use this to the unit?

thanks a lot,
tm

You can connect all wires to the controller..

I use a three wire sensors (hall effect) for limit on X and Y.

Connect to appropriate connector, 24v, GND, and correct input pin.
