The compact EB360R multiturn encoder, connected via the USB-C CAN adapter, now seamlessly transmits data to the Baumer Sensor Suite (BSS). This integration represents a significant advancement in industrial measurement technology.

Redefining Encoder Engineering with User-Friendly Software

Baumer encoders for mobile machines are built on a legacy of ultimate durability and precision. Now, with its free software solution, the company sets new industry standards by simplifying encoder testing and parameterization. The BSS—a PC-based tool already serving over 6000 users—has been expanded to support CANopen interfaces alongside IO-Link devices. This update makes it applicable for Baumer’s range of CANopen-compatible sensors and encoders, further streamlining engineering workflows.

A Game-Changing Engineering Experience

The BSS introduces a revolutionary approach: engineers can now directly observe what the sensor is detecting through an intuitive “encoder cockpit.” Measured values are presented graphically, making complex data instantly comprehensible—especially during parameterization. This eliminates tedious manual comparisons between measured and setpoint values, drastically reducing project timelines. The USB-C CAN adapter enables instant PC connectivity without external power for tasks like node ID configuration via the BSS interface.

Key Benefits:

  • Rapid visualization of sensor measurements through an intuitive graphical interface
  • Elimination of time-consuming parameterization verification processes
  • Instant connection to PC using minimal hardware (USB-C adapter)
  • Compatibility with multiple Baumer encoder families

Availability and Compatibility

The free Baumer Sensor Suite is now accessible for download as of March 2024. It supports numerous Baumer products across mobile machinery applications, including but not limited to:

  • EB360R multiturn encoder
  • EAM580RS inclination sensor
  • EAM580R proximity switch aligner
  • EAM500R angle meter
  • GIM360R incremental encoder
