Description
The Bulletin 46CLR ColorSight™ Process Data sensor offers 48 bits
and includes red, green, blue, intensity, signal strength, and the
state of each of the color channel outputs.
This quick reference includes IO-Link parameters that are offered
in our 46CLR ColorSight sensors. These parameters can be
accessed from any IOLink 1.1 compliant master.
IO-Link Features
• The sensor heartbeat function indicates to the PLC that a
sensor lost connectivity due to failure or faulty wiring.
• Access to red, green, blue, and color intensity information.
• Seven color channels can be taught when operating in
IO-Link.
• Signal strength indicates the reflectivity level of the
reflector. This function is ideal for continuous monitoring
and solving challenging applications.
• Location indication helps you to identify the sensor that
must be readjusted or taught in the application quickly.
• Counter, timers, and monitoring frequency parameters
enable operators to add ON delay and OFF delay on the
output behavior.
• User interface lock helps prevent unintentional or undesired
changes to the sensor setup parameters.
• Two process data maps allow operators to use the
continuous parameters best suited for the application.

Performs the same operation as the discrete output for all
seven color channels.
Can be used to indicate if the signal strength is higher or
lower than a defined threshold in index 196 (0xC4). It also
helps you detect a reflectivity of a target that can affect
the performance of the sensor.
Reflects the strength of the return signal reflected from
the target. The range is 0…100%. Darker targets reflect a
value closer to zero while highly reflective targets reflect a
number closer to 100%.
Displays the red component of the color under detection.
The parameter can be a value between 0…4095.
Displays the green component of the color under
detection. The parameter can be a value between 0…4095.
Displays the red component of the color under detection.
The parameter can be a value between 0…4095. This value
is calculated by subtracting the green and red component
from the total value of 4095.
Displays the intensity of the color under detection. The
parameter can be a value of 0…4095.
Process Data Out (Continuous Data)
Not applicable.
Parameter Data (Asynchronous Data)
These parameters can be read from and/or written to an IO-Link
device. Unlike Process Data In, which is transmitted from the
IO-Link device to the IO-Link master cyclically, these parameters
are read or written on-request with the use of message
instructions.

Standard Teach Parameter Tab Definitions
This section captures the standard teach procedure of 46CLR
sensor. These steps show you how to teach the sensor in standard
teach mode.
1. Select the desired color channel to teach using the “Teach
Channel” (index: 203) parameter.
2. Click Apply in the AOP to set the desired color channel.
3. Place the target in front of the sensor. Send the command
“Standard Teach – Show Color” (index: 65) to start the teach
process.
4. Send the command “Teach – Apply” (index:
64) to finalize the
teach process.
5. The teach process is complete.
When using the AOP for 46CLR sensor, you must click the Refresh
button for the color setpoints to be updated in the AOP. After you
click Refresh in the AOP, the sensor correlation window opens and
asks you to validate the settings. Select “Use Device Values” and
then click OK. Click Apply in the AOP to save these settings.
Color Scan Teach Definitions
This section captures the color scan teach process of 46CLR sensor.
The Color Scan feature enables you to teach and detect objects with
various colors and individual colors to each channel. These steps show
you how to teach the sensor in color scan mode.
1. Select the desired color channel to teach using the “Teach
Channel” (index: 203) parameter.
2. Click Apply in the AOP to set the desired color channel.
3. Place the target in front of the field of view of the sensor and
send the command “Color Scan – Start” (index: 71). Move the
color targets that you want to teach as needed until all
desired colors are presented in the field of view of the
sensor.
4. Send the command “Color Scan – Stop” (index: 72) to stop the
color scan process.
5. Send the command “Teach – Apply” (index: 64) to finalize the
teach process.
6. The teach process in complete.
When using the AOP for 46CLR sensor, you must click Refresh for
the color setpoints to be updated in the AOP. After you click Refresh
in the AOP, the sensor correlation window opens and asks you to
validate the settings. Select “Use Device Values” and then click OK.

sensor. The sensor has a total of seven color channels, three of which are discrete
and the remaining four are virtual channels. The default value for this parameter is
Channel 1 and must be changed to the desired color channel during the Standard or
Color Scan Teach Process.
Selects the desired color detection mode. The 46CLR ColorSight sensor uses these
main methods of color evaluation:
• Color Mode: This mode is optimized for the precise evaluation of several colors
or gradient of colors within a given tolerance (up to nine tolerance levels). In this
color inspection and evaluation mode, at least one color must be taught and
there’s no need to teach the background to be sure of reliable operation. This
method of operation is the most common.
• Best Fit Mode: This parameter value enables the sensor to operate as a color
sorting and assignment mode. In this mode, the sensor assigns the color that is
measured into the color channel that is closest to the internal set color. Multiple
colors must be taught and the background must also be taught using one of the
available color channels. This mode is uncommon and is only recommended for
advanced special applications.
• Teach Apply: Finalizes the standard teach and color scan teach process.
• Teach Cancel: Cancels the standard teach and color scan teach process without
completing the teach process.
• Reset – Color Channel: Resets the currently selected color channel to the factory
default settings.
Indicates the status of the teach process.

value for this parameter is enabled.
Controls the rotation of the LCD display on the sensor. A value of 0 rotates

This setting is a write-only command and sets the current sensor settings to their factory
default values.
Allows you to set the Local User Interface on 46CLRF sensor to perform the location
indication function. If this command is only sent once in a period of 1 second, the indicator
remains ON for up to 60 seconds. If this command is sent twice in less than 1 second, the
sensor flashes permanently until you send the command three times in less than 1 second
to stop the intermittent location indication flashing.
Enables you to turn OFF the white light-emitting diode (LED) light source. This setting may
be a desirable feature in some applications where you want to disable the light source due
to concerns with the light source.
Displays the number of hours that the sensor has been continuously in operation. This

applications if there are repeated failures.
Displays the number of targets that have been detected since the sensor has been in

Displays the internal temperature information available in the sensor. These parameters do
not reflect the ambient temperature, however, it can be used to infer if the environment in
the application is getting either too cold or too hot. This information could be used for
application troubleshooting purposes.
Reflects the maximum/minimum temperature inside of the microprocessor die of the
