The FT 50 C ... S1 barely differs from the
standard model in appearance, but has
an integrated RS485 interface and other
additional functions.
>
With switching output, control
input and bus-compatible RS485
interface
>
Interface enables transmission
of colour channel or colour value
as well as reading, modification
and storage of sensor parameters
>
Reference colours can be added
or the colour range extended in up
to 4 steps
>
Colour and grey selectivity can
be adjusted separately for every
colour
PC-based software
A combination of serial interface and PC
software also makes it possible to control the
entire scope of sensor functions from the PC.
Interactive settings are possible and sensors
can be easily adjusted to the respective appli-
cation. Colour samples can also be stored
after teach-in and reloaded again when
required. Renewed teach-in is not necessary.
The latest software version can be found on
the Internet under www.sensopart.com.
Colour scan
Inhomogeneous colour surfaces can
be taught-in (scanned) with the aid of the
integrated scan or scanplus function.
If a large colour range is scanned and allocated
to a single channel, the sensor switches at
every colour in the created colour spectrum
(figure 1).
Improved selectivity is achieved with the
scanplus function which can split this range
into several parts (figure 2).
