what's the difference between proximity sensor and proximity switch ?

Typically what inductive proximity sensor generates the output ? Is it a digital signal or a analog signal

If metal or metallic object is the target of inductive proximity sensor then what the output signal of inductive proximity sensor actually does ? Is it just use to switch on or switch off some device through relay normally open or through normally closed contact(s) ?

thanks
 

A proximity switch turns on or off when the object being sensed reaches a specific location.

A proximity sensor returns an analog signal indicating how far the object is from the sensor.
Allways remember, what is the difference between switch and sensor.
