Banner Engineering Co. QC50A3P6XDWQ Color Sensor

The Banner Engineering QC50A3P6XDWQ is a 20 mm-range true color sensor in the QC50 Series that operates from 10 to 30 V DC. It is equipped with an 8-pin M12 integral quick disconnect with open shield and three PNP outputs, enabling color-differentiation or color-plus-intensity differentiation across three channels. The sensor lives in a thermoplastic housing rated IP67/NEMA 4X, with an operating temperature of -10 to 55 C and humidity up to 90% at 50 C. Sensing uses modulated white light with RGB filtering to detect up to three stored colors within a 20 mm typical range, featuring a 4 mm beam spot and a sensing wavelength of 400–700 nm. Configuration is facilitated by a Set and Select push-button interface and a 4-digit digital display for status and parameter adjustment; the QC50 series also includes timing/hold features to control output behavior. Common applications include color differentiation for sorting, inspection, or registration tasks where precise color recognition and repeatability are required.
