Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD12CNC04BPM1T Colour Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi PD12CNC04BPM1T is a sophisticated four-channel fibre-optic colour sensor amplifier designed for accurate recognition of coloured marks, labels, components and materials in industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD12 colour sensor series, it combines microprocessor-controlled colour recognition with Teach-In programming for straightforward configuration.

The PD12CNC04BPM1T can recognise and store up to four different colours, with an individual output associated with each recorded colour. Its sensing distance ranges from 2–60 mm depending on the selected FPDC fibre optic assembly, allowing the sensing head to be adapted to different target sizes and installation requirements.

Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the PD12CNC04BPM1T provides NPN and PNP transistor outputs rated up to 100 mA, with programmable NO/NC and light/dark switching functionality. An M12 connector, IP65 protection, EEPROM parameter storage, keyboard locking and integrated timing functions make it a flexible solution for demanding colour-recognition applications.

Reliable Colour Recognition for Industrial Automation

Industrial colour sensing allows machinery to identify products according to coloured marks, labels or material characteristics rather than relying solely on object presence. The PD12CNC04BPM1T uses a separate fibre optic sensing assembly, allowing the optical detection point to be positioned close to the target while the amplifier remains conveniently accessible for configuration and monitoring.

The four-channel PD12CNC04BPM1T can store multiple reference colours using its Teach-In function and associate each detected colour with a separate output. Microprocessor control and EEPROM storage help maintain consistent programmed settings, while programmable switching and timing functions provide the flexibility required for sorting, verification and process-control applications.

Typical Applications

• Detection and verification of coloured labels and registration marks.
• Product sorting according to colour.
• Packaging and printing machinery.
• Detection of coloured wires and components.
• Identification of coloured tags and markings.
• Colour monitoring of liquids and materials.
• Assembly and manufacturing quality control.
• OEM machinery and automated production systems.
