This document is the specification of the PCS-I color sensor, describing its electrical interfaces and pin functions.
The Silicann PCS-I is a three‑range photo‑diode color sensor with RS232 communication and multiple switching outputs. This handbook describes its electrical connectors, pin assignments, and functional modes such as external triggering, timed sequences, and teach‑in.
Key technical information includes power requirements, response time, protection rating, operating temperature range, optical characteristics, and mechanical dimensions. The document also lists RS232 settings, A/D conversion details, and software support options like LabVIEW® drivers and Windows® DLLs. This manual is written in German.
