[OMRON] — E3NX-CA High-Function Color Fiber Amplifier (Multi-Output + External Input, AND/OR Logic)
Family ID: OMRON-E3NX-CA-HF
High-function color fiber amplifier with 2 outputs, 1 external input, and AND/OR logic output for advanced color detection applications. White LED + RGB matrix sensor with 4x dynamic range and 4x S/N improvement vs E3X-DAC-S. External input enables remote tuning, Light OFF, Zero Reset, and BANK switching (1~8) — useful for production line recipe changeover or remote troubleshooting. AND/OR logic combines OUT1 and OUT2 channels for complex pass/fail criteria (e.g., color match + count threshold simultaneously). Output 2 supports Error output mode for self-diagnostic alarms. Smart Tuning, four response modes (SHS 50μs ~ GIGA 16ms), BANK 1~8. 10-30 VDC, NPN or PNP. Compatible with OMRON E32 series fiber heads (E32-C91N coaxial recommended for color detection on tilted glossy workpieces). Mounting Bracket (E39-L143), DIN Track, End Plate (PFP-M) sold separately — contact for quote.
