Photoeye Symbol

I want to have a two terminal photoeye icon but all I can find is a 4 terminal icon in the icon menu and I am not too familiar with making my own icons does anyone have a two terminal photoeye icon or know where I can find it.

The problem with providing one is that it won't necessarily suit you. I strongly advise you to learn to use the Symbol Builder.

I have several versions myself that have more pins. The reason is that I want them to look different on a IO-Link page than a PLC page. And your rung spacing will also be very relevant if you want to squeeze it onto a PLC rung.

The symbol that you sent is the exact symbol that I have all ready and what I was looking for was a photo eye with two terminals side by side and only one set of the rather than the two that is shown in the drawing you sent.

Thank you for the responses, but I am going to just build my own in symbol builder just wanted to see if there was some already drawn but with this case it is probably best I make a custom symbol after doing more research on what I actually need.
