SICK AG CS1-P1111 Photoelectric Sensor

The SICK CS1-P1111 is a compact color-detecting photoelectric sensor with a single PNP output, built for reliable color recognition in tight spaces on production lines. Part of SICK’s CS1 color-sensor family, the unit uses RGB illumination (blue, green, and red LEDs) to distinguish colored targets and provide a digital indication of color class on its one-channel output. It is powered from a 12–30 V DC supply and typically draws up to about 100 mA, while the IP67-rated housing stands up to dust, moisture, and washdown environments. The CS1-P1111’s single-channel, PNP output makes it straightforward to integrate with standard PLCs and sensor networks for color-presence detection, color-contrast checks, or simple color-sorting tasks. Typical applications include packaging lines, label verification, and electronics assembly where fast, non-contact color sensing is essential and space is at a premium. With SICK’s color-sensor technology, this model delivers deterministic sensing for color-coded parts, beverages, or packaging materials, enabling reliable quality control and line throughput without mechanical contact.
