SISCO optical color sensor for PLC features one-key intelligent locking, a four-button menu, and easy mode switching for precise adjustment. It operates on a wide 10- 30 V DC range with short-circuit, overload, and reverse polarity protection. Its compact housing, hard treatment, and stable performance ensure reliable color sensing.
High-Precision Dual-Mode Color Detection
- Equipped with an RGB three-color LED, the optical color sensor for PLC identifies color marks by the R:G:B ratio for better discrimination.
- A built-in 12-bit A/D converter enables 1/4000 high-resolution judgment in the optical color sensor for plc.
- In color mark mode, 4μs ultra-fast response is achieved by the optical color sensor for plc using a single LED.
- Color mode allows the optical color sensor for PLC to use RGB simultaneously for high-precision detection of color marks and patterned films.
Industrial-Grade Stable Output and Flexible Configuration
- Wide DC10-30V voltage support and less than 20mA consumption make the optical color sensor for plc suitable for varied power environments.
- NPN/PNP open-collector output with LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON selection lets the optical color sensor for PLC connect easily to PLC systems.
- Protection against short circuit, overload, and reverse polarity, plus an IP67 rating, keeps the optical color sensor for PLC reliable in industrial use.
- Four buttons SET/UP/DOWN/MODE with one-key intelligent locking, 1P/2P teaching, and delay settings simplify setup for the optical color sensor for PLC.

Details
Q1: What is the detection accuracy of the optical color sensor for PLC?
A1: A 12-bit A/D converter is built into this optical color sensor for PLC, providing 1/4000 resolution. This allows it to distinguish subtle color differences and detect color marks on patterned films.
Q2: How fast does the optical color sensor for PLC respond?
A2: In color mark mode, the response time of this optical color sensor for PLC is 4μs. In standard color mode, the response time is 50μs. This makes it suitable for high-speed production lines.
Q3: Is the optical color sensor for PLC easy to set up and calibrate?
A3: Setup is simplified by four buttons (SET/UP/DOWN/MODE) and one-key intelligent locking. The optical color sensor for PLC also supports 1P/2P teaching, so calibration can be completed without complex tools.
Tips: How to install and calibrate the optical color sensor for PLC correctly?
- Mounting position matters because the optical color sensor for PLC uses reflective sensing with an 8–25 mm detection range.
- Keep the sensing face perpendicular to the moving color mark and secure the bracket to reduce vibration. If the distance is too short or too long, reflected light may become unstable and cause missed or false detection.
- Calibration starts by aligning the light source with the target color and pressing SET once. Then move the light source away from that color and press SET again to complete teaching. For two-color inspection, use 2P teaching and adjust light intensity R-H or R-L to match different surface reflectivity.
- Detection mode selection affects both speed and accuracy. Choose color mark mode for 4μs ultra-fast response on high-speed lines, or color mode for 1/4000 high-precision discrimination of complex patterns and films. Long-press MODE to enter the menu and switch between C, MARK, and C1 modes.
- Output logic and delay settings help prevent false triggering. Set LIGHT-ON or DARK-ON according to PLC input requirements, then adjust delay options such as TOFF, onod, ond, or offd to ignore brief color fluctuations or vibration. After setup, confirm stable switching before full operation.
