contrast sensor with io linkLet's start with what a contrast sensor is. Contrast sensors are used to distinguish the difference between two objects with different colors.

The exciting thing about our Pepperl + Fuchs DK12 contrast sensors with IO-Link is that they take contrast sensors to a whole new level!

Configuration benefits:
  • Tamper-proof setting that locks out the potentiometer programming adjustment
  • Switches from light on/dark on modes without the need to change wiring
  • Minimizes setup by loading stored parameters to sensor remotely
Diagnostic benefits:
  • Quantifies colors of taught objects for evaluating contrasts
  • Tests the functionality of all three emitter color LED's
Control benefits:
  • Allows contrast level to be adjusted if the object in the application varies from the taught object
  • Monitors changes or deviations in observed color values for quality control
