Wiring Method
External Input Settings
Set Sensitivity via External Input (External Tuning)
- Activate the key lock function.
- Connect the pink wire to an external device, such as a switch or PLC.
- Short-circuit the pink wire as shown in the diagram; for each model, this is equivalent to pressing the SET (setting) button.
Select Database via External Input (In C/C+I Mode)
- Activate the key lock function.
- Connect the purple wire to an external device, such as a switch or PLC.
- Short-circuit the purple wire as shown in the diagram so that each model switches the database from A to B. (When the input signal is ON, the database is set to B.)
External Input Shift Input (During Super I Mode Setting)
- Connect the purple wire to an external device, such as a switch or PLC.
- Short-circuit the purple wire as shown in the diagram to enable shift input for each model. (The rising edge of the input signal executes the shift input.)
Q1: What makes the multi-mode fiber optic color sensor suitable for micro color difference identification?
A1: The multi-mode fiber optic color sensor uses an RGB color sensor with triple 16-bit RGB calculation and independent red, green, and blue LEDs. It accurately recognizes over 3,000 colors and offers three detection modes: C, CI, and SUPER I. These features ensure precise color mark sensor performance in demanding industrial environments.
Q2: How many colors can the RGB color sensor store and detect at the same time?
A2: The RGB color sensor features an 8-channel design that stores up to 8 colors. It can simultaneously detect 4 colors (4 per A/B channel). This makes the color detection sensor highly efficient for multi-point inspection and complex color sorting tasks.
Q3: What output and protection features does this industrial color sensor provide?
A3: This industrial color sensor provides NPN/PNP open-collector outputs with 4 channels, max 40VDC, and up to 100mA per channel (200mA total). It includes reverse polarity, overcurrent, and overvoltage protection. External inputs for tuning, emission stop, and bank switching further enhance its flexibility.
Tips: What factors should be considered to achieve stable color mark detection with a multi-mode fiber optic color sensor on high-speed production lines?
- Response time should match line speed: 200μs is suitable for high-speed detection, while 1ms, 4ms, and 8ms can be selected for standard color detection sensor tasks.
- Detection mode should be chosen based on target characteristics: C, CI, or SUPER I helps the RGB color sensor handle vibration, subtle color differences, or neutral colors.
- The 8-channel design allows the color detection sensor to store up to 8 colors and detect 4 colors simultaneously, reducing changeover time for industrial color sensor setups.
- Stable operation requires correct 24VDC power, proper NPN/PNP output wiring, and external tuning or bank switching to ensure reliable color mark sensor performance.
