Our module PR0047 is a system with an external light source for the passive color identification in the visible area of the light. The product that is supposed to be detected is constantly illuminated by the light source. Then, the light reflected by the product is evaluated. The module either works as a plain analogue sensor, operated by a serial interface, or as a simple positive / negative identification via a digital I/Os. Added to this, it is possible to operate the module via the two interfaces in parallel. When applied as a positive / negative identification, the device works with specific parameters, configured by the user with the help of a software tool which is included in our delivery extent. These parameters are remanently stored on the module, so that 16 completely different products can be parameterised and selectively tested.
| test parameters | colour and intensity |
| detect frequency | 400 Hz |
| resolution | 14 bit for each gain |
| dynamic | > 100 dB |
The connection of the light is effected by means of light guides with different configurations. These different configurations and the illumination permit the user to examine aperture as well as larger areas for colour congruence. The module evaluates these areas as a sum signal.
The use of light guides for the interconnection of the examined systems permits a spatial separation of the device from the test area. Thanks to the module’s small mechanical dimensions its utilisation is highly flexible. This often allows for later up-grading of already existing installations.
Our delivery extent includes the software tool for the parameterisation as well as a detailed description of the serial interface. The description gives details about all commands that help to collect and evaluate the pure sensor data with the user’s own software. This is often necessary to comply with higher requirements for the pursuit of products.
