The easy-to-use Banner QC50
series true color sensor uses modulated white light
with red, green, and blue (R, G, B) electronic filters
to scan for the presence of one, two or three colors.
Its compact size allows it to be mounted almost
anywhere.
Configuration options include Programming mode for color
detection parameters and Setup mode for selecting an
adjustable output OFF-delay or selecting between two
response speeds (some models). Three solid-state outputs
may be set individually for color differentiation or for
color-plus-intensity differentiation (see Sensing Modes
below).
The sensor has two push buttons, Set and Select, plus a
4-digit LED display, an Output LED, and three Output
Status LEDs (one for each sensing output), for easy
programming and status monitoring during operation. Push
buttons can be locked out for security.
The Banner QC50 models features include:
Two versions for
application flexibility: QC50 models for most
applications, and QCX50 models for more
challenging applications
Compact,
self-contained design
Analyzes and
compares color to color, or varying intensities of one
color
QCX50 models
excel in challenging applications, such as
differentiating dark blue from black
Fast sensing
