TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Reliable Color Detection
everal colors can be simultaneously and reliably evaluated with wenglor’s new OFP401P0189 Color Sensor despite minimal distance changes. The sensor works with white light and is above all distinguished by intuitive menu prompting and an integrated wizard for teaching in colors within just 60 seconds. The innovative Color Sensor from wenglor can be used wherever colors or contrasts need to be detected and distinguished.

Not even the slightest color nuances are a problem for the OFP401P0189. Colors can be taught in to the sensor within just 60 seconds thanks to the teach-in wizard.
In addition to the integrated teach-in function, external teach in is also possible. However, the decisive attribute of the new color specialist is its ability to recognize variously colored objects, which can be reliably detected despite varying distances.

integrating the digital temperature sensors into process control systems. In addition to Profibus and Modbus units and a version with four galvanically isolated analog outputs, there are new models for Ethernet and Profinet IO, optionally with a robust die- cast zinc housing or 6TE DIN rail housing. The new Profinet boxes are suitable for time-critical applications as they can transmit data to a higher- level PLC in real time. The Ethernet version features a 64 MB data logger large enough for 24 days of recorded data at a one second saving interval. It supports TCP/IP4 and, based on an integrated HTTP server, provides its own landing page which enables direct access to the temperature data as well as product information and manuals via any standard internet browser.

Legrand’s consumer unit makeover L
egrand has reacted to a growing trend for consumer units to be located in visible locations within the home by giving its popular insulated and metal products a stylish makeover. The new Legrand consumer units, which are available in either flush or semi-flush mounting variations, are now white and have opaque hinged doors. These changes have been made in order that the new products sit more comfortably within the design schemes of modern living spaces. Caroline Boden, marketing manager for Legrand, said: “Style is very much the watchword when it comes to residential interiors and while consumer units
are never going to be the most stylish of products we felt it was important to improve the aesthetic appeal of our range in order to provide homeowners with a more discreet option.”“The move from magnolia to white reflects current design tastes, while the use of an opaque door ensures the protection devices and circuit labelling within the consumer unit are concealed while its door is closed.”
