The colorSENSOR CFO250 is an ideal addition to the controller portfolio of Micro-Epsilon color sensors. The colorSENSOR CFO100 with a measuring rate of 10 kHz and the colorSENSOR CFO200 with a measuring rate of 30 kHz focus on the display of the precise result of the colors and output the measured values with only a few Hz. The new colorSENSOR CFO250, also with a measuring rate of 30 kHz, now offers a significantly faster measurement data output with up to 500 Hz and this with otherwise unchanged properties.

In this process, taught-in colors are compared with the current measured value, evaluated internally in the controller (OK/NOK) and output with up to 30 kHz switching frequency. Raw data can be provided in Lab or XYZ color spaces with up to 500 Hz via UDP, RS232 or the USB interface. via a simplified, binary 3-byte protocol, the data is directly forwarded to the PLC for further processing.

Measurement data output can be continuous or on demand. Corresponding edge or level triggers also control how long or how many measured values are output.

The colorSENSOR CFO250 in combination with our wide range of sensor heads is particularly suitable for fast processes, e.g. the monitoring of mixing processes such as granulates and powders or in quality inspection in filling plants.
