The Perceptive Color Sensor PCS-II from Silicann Technologies is setting new standards in industrial color processing. Its unique feature is the realisation of transformations in true-to-perception color spaces. This avoids incorrect color recognition and therefore higher cost in automation processes. Furthermore simple colorimetric applications on a high-speed level are possible. In doing so the color sensor is reasonably priced and absolutely reliable.

Specific Features:

• perceptual color processing (i.e., the color sensor processes color signals like humans do)
• usage of colorimetric color spaces like L*a*b* and L*u*v*
• fiber optic (distance to object changeable)
• 255 colors teachable via software
• changeable signal gain
• changeable brightness of internal light source
• master-slave operation for synchronizing several sensors in an array
• hold time for outputs adjustable from 0 to 65536 ms
• LabVIEW(R) driver included in delivery (for immediate integration in LabVIEW based automation machinery)
• PC based control of the sensor via Win dll function libraries in software package „PCSLib“
• firmware update via RS232 interface
• color grouping function (i.e., to assign different color samples to one output)
