The color-sensing engine uses three parameters, RGB, to process
incident light. It detects color information from the workpiece for precise
detection of color differences.
Changes in the three parameters are processed as a ratio, so they are
not affected by light-intensity variations due to workpiece movement.

A high-power white LED and a multi-RGB processing system combine to cover all
RGB wavelengths, enabling easy and accurate detection of workpieces without
having to use a different light source to match each one.

Easy and Reliable ... Ease of Use and Smart Functions
In addition to ensuring easy use, we have added a number of smart
functions, such as remote control to simplify setup, and twin
sensing and output to simultaneously distinguish two registered
colors. (advanced models)

A Slim, 10-mm-wide Amplifier Unit
Thinnest in the Industry
First in Its Class
Use of a white LED and a one-package RGB light-receiving
element has made it possible to unify the Amplifier Unit,
both in size and operation, with conventional models.
If detection should become unstable, the Amplifier Unit can
be separately replaced to immediately regain stability.
Easy to Understand
A double display for easy, precise setting.

Easy and Reliable ... Simplified Wiring Connector Reduces Work Steps
OMRON's unique simplified wiring connectors provide
the power for each added Sensor. Up to 16 Units can
be mounted, including a combination of Digital Fiber
Sensors and other simplified wiring connector
products such as Digital Laser Sensors.
This function guides the user to
ensure that the workpiece is in an
appropriate position for teaching.
(Indicates OVER, OK, or LOW.)
Power is supplied through the connector,
so only one output wire is
required.
