General
The CSS/CSX color sensor offers the option of assigning two or more taught-in colors to one output. For example, see picture for color 1 and color 2.
By default, the colors are then linked via a logical OR.
Here it is useful to know how the CMV (Color Matching Value) behaves for this output and how the switching output behaves.
CMV Behavior
If two or more taught-in colors are assigned to an output, the CMV (Color Matching Value) with the higher value is output in the process data or shown on the sensor display for the specific output.
Example for the image shown above:
If color 2 has a higher matching value - higher CMV - then this value is also output for QL1. However, if color 1 has a higher CMV value, its value applies.
Output Behavior (OR Logic)
The output status switches for the color whose set sensitivity is also exceeded.
It is therefore possible that color 1 has a higher CMV value, but its sensitivity has not yet been exceeded. If color 2 has a lower CMV but its sensitivity is exceeded, the output switches on the basis of color 2 but shows the CMV of color 1. See the example below.
