Description
This color sensor is capable of evaluating up to three colors simultaneously. A small spot and a large working range are made possible thanks to single-lens optics. All sensor settings can be selected by means of teach-in, as well as via the RS-232 interface. Values generated by the sensor can be read out via the interface or digital switching outputs. The sensor has 3 switching outputs and supplies RGB, XYZ and HSL color values via the interface. This product has been discontinued, but is still available as a spare part. Successor
