Measuring Principle

The SPECTRO-3 provides highly flexible signal acquisition. For example, the sensor can be operated in alternating-light mode(AC mode), which makes the sensor insensitive to extraneous light. It also can be set to constant-light mode (DC mode), whichmakes the sensor extremely fast and allows a scan-frequency of more than 30KHz. If the integrated light source at the sensor isturned off and the sensor is set to DC mode, the sensor is able to detect so-called "self-luminous objects". With the steplessadjustment of the integrated light source and the selectable gain of the receiver signal the sensor can be set to almost anysurface or any "self-luminous object".

When the integrated light source of the SPECTRO-3 color sensor is activated, the sensor detects the radiation that is diffuselyreflected from the object. As a light source the SPECTRO-3 color sensor uses a white-light LED with adjustable transmitter power.An integrated 3-fold receiver for the red, green, and blue content of the light that is reflected from the object, or the light that isemitted by a "self-luminous object", is used as a receiver. As mentioned above, a special feature here is that the gain of thereceiver can be set in 8 steps. This makes it possible to optimally adjust the sensor to almost any surface and to different "self-luminous objects".

The SPECTRO-3 color sensor can be "taught" up to 31 colors. For each of these taught colors it is possible to set tolerances.In X/Y INT or s/i M mode these tolerances form a color cylinder in space. In X/Y/INT or s/i/M mode the tolerances form a colorsphere in space. Color evaluation according to s/i M is based on the lab calculation method. All modes can be used incombination with several operating modes such as "FIRST HIT" and "BEST HIT". Raw data are represented with 12 bit resolution.Color detection either operates continuously or is started through an external PLC trigger signal.The respective detected color either is provided as a binary code at the 5 digital outputs or can be sent directly to the outputs, ifonly up to 5 colors are to be detected. At the same time the detected color code is visualised by means of 5 LEDs at the housingof the SPECTRO-3.With a TEACH button at the sensor housing the color sensor can be taught up to 31 colors. For this purpose the correspondingevaluation mode must be set with the software. The TEACH button is connected in parallel to the input IN0 (green wire at cablecab-las8/SPS).

Parameters and measurement values can be exchanged between a PC and the SPECTRO-3 color sensor through the serialRS232 interface. All the parameters for color detection also can be saved to the non-volatile EEPROM of the SPECTRO-3 colorsensor through this serial RS232 interface. When parameterisation is finished, the color sensor continues to operate with thecurrent parameters in STAND-ALONE mode without a PC.

The sensors of the SPECTRO-3 series can be calibrated (white-light balancing). Balancing can be performed to any whitesurface. A ColorCheckerTM table with 24 color fields is available as an alternative.

Measuring principle of color sensors of SPECTRO-3 Series:

Visualization

Visualization of the color code:

The color code is visualised by way of 5 yellow LEDs at the housing of the SPECTRO-3 color sensor. At the same time in the binarymode (OUT BINARY) the color code indicated on the LED display is output as 5-bit binary information at the digital outputs OUT0 toOUT4 of the 8-pin SPECTRO-3/PLC socket.

The SPECTRO-3 color sensor is able to process a maximum of 31 colors (color code 0 ... 30) in accordance with the correspondingrows in the COLOR TEACH TABLE. An "error" respectively a "not detected color" is displayed by the lighting of all LED (OUT0 ... OUT4digital outputs are set to HIGH-level).

In the DIRECT mode (OUT DIRECT HI or OUT DIRECT LO) the maximum numbers of colors to be taught is 5 (color no. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4).If DIRECT HI is activated, the specially digital output is set to HI, while the other 4 are set to LO. If the current color does not correspondwith any of the teach-in colors, all digital outputs are set to LOW (no LED is lighting).

If DIRECT LO is activated, the specially digital output is set to LO, while the other 4 are set to HI. If the current color does not correspondwith any of the teach-in colors, all digital outputs are set to HIGH (all LED are lighting).

Parameterization

Windows® user interface:

The color sensor is parameterized under Windows® with the SPECTRO3-Scope software. The Windows® user interface facilitates theteach-in process at the color sensor and supports the operator in the task of adjustment and commissioning of the color sensor.

The RS232 interface (tab PARA1 or PARA2) isused for setting parameters such as:- MAXCOL-No.:

Number of colors to be checked- POWER-MODE:

Light power of the white-light LED- LED-MODE:

Triggering of the internal light source- AVERAGE:

Averaging over a maximum of 32768 values- TRIGGER:

Continuous or external or self trigger- OUTMODE:

Triggering of the digital outputs- COLOR GROUPS:

Forming of color groups- INTLIM:

Minimum intensity required for color evaluation- HOLD:

Pulse lengthening up to 100ms max.

Under Windows® representation of the colorvalue on a PC in numeric form and in a colorchart, and representation of RGB values in atime chart.In addition the current RGB values aredisplayed as a bar chart.

Tab CONNECT:Pressing the CONNECT tab opens a window for selecting and configuring the interface.

IThe COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL function field is used for selecting either an RS232 or a TCP/IPprotocol. If RS232 is selected, a port from 1 to 256 can be selected with SELECT COM PORT, dependingon which port the sensor is connected to.

If an adaptor is used, the COMPORT number can be determined by way of the hardware manager in thesystem control panel.

If the sensor should communicate through a local area network, an RS232 to Ethernet adaptor will beneeded. This adapter makes it possible to establish a connection to the sensor with the TCP/IP protocol.The network adaptors that are available from us are based on the Lantronix XPort module. Forparameterising these adapters (assigning of an IP address, setting of the Baud rate of 19200) pleasedownload the "DeviceInstaller" software that is provided free of charge by Lantronix at http://www.lantronix.com/. DeviceInstaller is based on Microsoft's ".NET" framework. Detailed operatinginstructions for the "DeviceInstaller" software also are available from Lantronix.

Parameterization

Tab PARA1Pressing the PARA1 tab opens a window for setting the sensor parameters..

FIRST HIT:The currently measured colorvalues are compared with thedefault values in the TEACH TABLE,starting with teach-color 0.If in the row-by-row comparisonthe current color values correspondwith the teach-parameters entered in the TEACH TABLE, this first "hit" inthe TEACH TABLE is displayed as a color number (C-No.) and is output atthe digital outputs (OUT0 ... OUT4) according to the settings of theOUTMODE parameter (see OUTMODE).If the current color does not correspond with any of the teach-colors, thecolor code C-No. = 255 will be set ("error status").

BEST HIT:The currently measured colorvalues are compared with thedefault values in the TEACH TABLE,starting with teach-color 0.If in the row-by-row comparison the current color values correspond withseveral of the teach parameters entered in the color table, the teachparameter that has the shortest x/y distance from the current color valuewill be a hit.This "hit" in the TEACH TABLE is displayed as a color number (C-No.) andis output at the digital outputs (OUT0 ... OUT4) according to the settings ofthe OUTMODE parameter (see OUTMODE).If the current color does not correspond with any of the teach-in colors, thecolor code C-No. = 255 will be set ("error status").

MIN DIST:The individual teach-in colorsdefined in the TEACH TABLE arepresent as points in the color triangle,defined by their (X,Y) value pairs. When this evaluation mode is set at thesensor, the evaluation algorithm, starting from the currently measured colorvalue (X,Y), calculates the distance to the individual teach-in colors in thecolor triangle. The current color value (X,Y) is assigned to the teach-incolor that is closest in the color triangle.It is furthermore checked whether the intensity condition for this color alsois true. If the intensity condition is not true, the second shortest distancewill be checked, etc.

COL5:In this evaluation mode the rows 0 to 4 in the TEACH TABLE areevaluated.Every match of current vector (row number) and teach vector is directlysent to the corresponding output.

EVALUATION MODE:This function field serves for setting the evaluation mode atthe SPECTRO-3 color sensor.

Parameterization

CALCULATION MODE:

X/Y INT:The X/Y pairs of the individual red, green, and blue components, and the intensity are used for evaluation.For X/Y a color tolerance CTO can be set, and for the intensity an INT tolerance ITO can be set. With theindividual tolerances the color is represented as a cylinder in space (see picture below). CTO defines thediameter of the cylinder, and ITO the height of the cylinder.

s/i M:The s/i pairs of the individual red, green, and blue components, and M are calculated for evaluation. Thiscalculation method follows the Lab calculation method. For s/i a color tolerance siTO can be set, and forthe intensity an M tolerance MTO can be set. With the individual tolerances the color is represented as acylinder in space (see picture below). siTO defines the diameter of the cylinder, and MTO the height of thecylinder.

X/Y/INT:For evaluation, X, Y, and INT are calculated from the individual red, green, and blue components. Thesethree values define a point in three-dimensional space. The tolerance value that is entered defines asphere in space with radius TOL (see picture below).

s/i/M:For evaluation, s, i, and M are calculated from the individual red, green, and blue components following theLab calculation method. These three values define a point in three-dimensional space. The tolerance valuethat is entered defines a sphere in space with radius TOL (see picture below).

Parameterization

POWER MODE:In this function field the operating mode of automatic power correction at the transmitter unit (transmitterLED) can be set.STATIC: The transmitter power is constantly kept at the value set with the POWER [pm] slider(recommended operation mode). The POWER can be set with the slider or by entering a value in the edit-box. A value of 1000 means full intensity at the transmitter unit, a value of 0 sets the lowest intensity at thetransmitter.DYNAMIC: The LED transmitter power is dynamically controlled in accordance with the amount of radiationthat is diffusely reflected from the object. By using the intensities measured at the receivers the automaticcontrol circuit attempts to adjust the transmitter power in such a way that the dynamic range, which isdetermined by DYN WIN LO and DYN WIN HI, is not exceeded.

LED MODE:This item serves for setting the control mode for the integrated light source of the sensor.DC: In this mode the sensor operates extremely fast and reaches a scan frequency of more than 30KHz.Unfortunately the sensor is somewhat sensitive to extraneous light in DC mode, but if the extraneous lightsource does not directly shine into the sensor's receiver, the signal only is influenced to a very small extent.AC: In this mode the sensor is insensitive to extraneous light, which is achieved by "modulating" theintegrated light source, i.e. by turning the light on and off. The extraneous content in the signal isdetermined in off status and is simply subtracted from the on status..PULSE: In pulse mode the transmitter unit is pulsed, which for a very short time directs a high lightintensity onto the object. Afterwards the transmitter unit must be turned off for a longer time, whichcompared to the AC mode reduces the scan frequency approximately by a factor of 5.OFF: The sensor's internal light source is turned off in DC mode by POWER [pm] = 0, the sensor can beused for so-called "self-luminous objects". Self-luminous objects are light sources that actively emit light(LEDs, lamps, etc.). In OFF mode the POWER MODE and POWER cannot be adjusted, and externalteaching with DYN1 is not possible.

AVERAGE:This function field is used for adjusting the number of scanning values (measurement values) over whichthe raw signal measured at the receiver is averaged. A higher AVERAGE default value reduces noise of theraw signals at the receiver unit and there will be a decrease of the maximal available switching frequency ofthe sensor.

MAXCOL-No.:This function field serves for setting the number of colors to be checked.In the BINARY mode the maximum number of colors to be checked is 31. In the DIRECT HI or DIRECT LOmode the maximum number of colors to be checked is 5 (colors no. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). The numerical value sethere determines the currently possible scanning rate of the color sensor. The less the colors to bechecked, the faster the operation of the sensor.The numerical value set here refers to the number of rows (starting with row 0) in the TEACH TABLE..

OUTMODE:This group of buttons offers the method of how to control the 5 digital outputs.

BINARY: If in this row-by-row comparison the current color values correspond with the teach-in parametersentered in the TEACH TABLE, this color in the TEACH TABLE is displayed as a color number (C-No.) andis sent to the digital outputs (OUT0 ... OUT4) as a bit pattern. The maximum number of colors to be taughtis 31.

DIRECT: In this mode the maximum number of colors to be taught is 5.If in this row-by-row comparison the current color values correspond with the teach-in parameters enteredin the TEACH TABLE, this color in the TEACH TABLE is displayed as a color number (C-No.) andis sent direct to the digital outputs (OUT0 ... OUT4).DIRECT HI: If DIRECT HI is activated, the specially digital output is set to HI. If the current color does notcorrespond with any of the teach-in colors, all digital outputs are set to LOW (no LED is lighting)DIRECT LO: If DIRECT LO is activated, the specially digital output is set to LO, while the other ones areset to HI. If the current color does not correspond with any of the teach-in colors, all digital outputs are setto HIGH (all LEDs are lighting).

INTLIM:This edit box is used for setting an intensity limit. Color evaluation is stopped, if the current intensity INTarriving at the receiver unit falls below this limit, and ERROR STATE is output.

Parameterization

TRIGGER:This function field serves for setting the trigger mode at the sensor. If TRIGGER is not CONT, the TRIG LED shows atrigger event.

CONT:Continuous color detection (no trigger event required).

SELF:By selecting SELF the sensor can be operated in self-trigger mode.The "free status" must be taught to row 0. With a split optical fibre in transmitted-light operation the free status, forexample, is the uncovered status. In reflected-light operation the free status is the status when there is no part.Color detection is started when row 0 is no longer detected (self-trigger). After the trigger, i.e. when color 0 is detectedagain, the color from the taught colors will be output that was detected most frequently during triggering.

EXT1:Color detection is started through the external trigger input (IN0 pin3 green of cable cab-las8/SPS) or by means of a clickon the TEACH button. A trigger event is recognized as long as +24V is present at the IN0 input (HIGH-active). After thetrigger input goes to LOW again, the state (color no.) that was last detected will be held at the outputs.

EXT2:Same behaviour as in EXT1 mode, with the difference that an error state (color no. = 255) will be output after the triggerinput goes to LOW again.

EXT3:Color detection is started through the external trigger input (IN0 Pin3 grn at cable cab-las8/SPS) or by pressing the TEACHbutton. After triggering the color from the taught colors will be output that was detected most frequently during triggering.

EXT4:Same behaviour as in EXT1. However, in contrast to EXT1 in this mode the transmitter source will be switched off if notrigger event (IN0 or TEACH button) is given.

EXTTEACH:In all the evaluation modes teaching of a color can be performed externally through IN0 or by means of the button at thesensor housing.

OFF: The external TEACH feature is deactivated.

ON : See below.

STAT1:In static power mode, a color is taught to position 0 in the TEACH TABLE.The POWER MODE is automatically set to STATIC. A fixed transmitter poser must be set with the POWER slider. Whenthe button at the sensor housing is pressed, or after a positive signal (+24V) at input IN0, the current color is taught to row0.

DYN1:In dynamic power mode, a color is taught to position 0 in the TEACH TABLE, and evaluation is then performed statically.The POWER MODE is automatically set to STATIC. When the button at the sensor housing is pressed, or after a positivesignal (+24V) at input IN0, the transmitter power is set such that the sensor is in the dynamic range, which is defined byDYN WIN LO and DYN WIN HI. The current color is then taught to position 0 in the TEACH TABLE.The sensor then continues to operate statically with the established POWER value.The taught color is stored only in the RAM and not in the EEPROM of the sensor.

Tab PARA2:A click on PARA2 opens a view where colors in the TEACH TABLE can be assigned to certain groups, andfor each color and the error status an explicit HOLD time can be set.

COLOR GROUPS:It is possible to form color groups in evaluation modes FIRST HIT, BEST HIT, and MIN DIST. This meansthat in a special table the individual rows are assigned to a group.

HOLD in [ms]:The sensor operates with minimum scanning times in the magnitude of less than 100μs. This is why mostof the PLCs that are connected to the digital outputs have difficulties with the safe detection of the resultingshort switching state changes. Entering values in the table provides pulse lengthening at the digital outputsof the sensor system up to 100 ms. Each individual row can be assigned its own HOLD time.

Tab TEACH TABLE:A click on the TEACH TABLE tab opens a view where colors can be taught to the TEACH TABLE.

The TEACH TABLE is organized in rows, i.e. the individual parameters for the teach-in colors are arrangedside by side in the respective row.The sensor is able to check up to 31 teach-in colors. The number of the respective teach-in color is givenin the left column of the table.Only the green rows are used for evaluation in the sensor. The number of rows to be inspected is set withMAXCOL-No.

Parameterization

Tab TABLE ATTRIBUTES:A click on TABLE ATTRIBUTES opens a panel where the row color in which the individual tolerance circuitsare represented can be individually chosen or these can be automatically replaced by the color detected bythe system. Furthermore, designations for the individual rows can be entered in the SPECIFICATION table.These designations are saved on the PC's hard disk and can be loaded again, if necessary

Tab RECORDER:The SPECTRO3-Scope software features a data recorder that allows the saving of RED, GREEN, BLUE,X, Y, INT, C-No: and TEMP. The recorded file is saved to the hard disk of the PC and can then be evaluatedwith a spreadsheet program.The file that is created has eight columns and as many rows as data frames were recorded.A row is structured as follows: Date and time, RED, GREEN, BLUE, X, Y, INT, C-No:, TEMP.

Tab CALIBRATE:White light balancing can be performed with the sensors of the SPECTRO-3 series. Balancing can beperformed to any white surface. A ColorCheckerTM table with 24 color fields according to CIE standard isavailable as an alternative, and white light balancing or calibration can then be performed to one of thewhite fields.

Parameterization

SOURCE:A click on the arrow button opens a selection field for the selection of a display mode in the graphic display window.

Graphic display elements:

This display shows the temperature prevailing in the sensor housing.The display DOES NOT show degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit.

X/Y INT or s/i M:X/Y or s/i pairs are displayed in a zoomed graph.The intensity INT or M with the tolerance window setunder No.: is shown directly below.Two-side view of the color cylinder in space.

X/Y/INT or s/i/M:A panel opens that shows the taught color spheres andthe current color position. For improved representation athree-side view with the graphs X/Y (s/i), X/INT (s/M) andY/INT (i/M) was chosen.

Operation of the TEMPCOMP-Scope software:

If a firmware update should go wrong and thetemperature characteristics that are stored in theEEPROM should be lost, these characteristics mustbe created anew. For this purpose you will need a filewith the corresponding data. This file can be obtainedfrom your supplier.To perform temperature compensation please startthe corresponding TEMPCOMP-Scope software thatis included on the supplied CD. Please make surethat you have a functioning sensor connection. Itmay be necessary to select the connection withCONNECT. Set the correct sensor under SELECTSENSOR, if this is not done automatically.
