The compact EB360R multiturn encoder, when connected via the USB-C CAN adapter, seamlessly transmits data to the Baumer Sensor Suite. Baumer encoders, particularly for mobile machines, are recognized for their robust design and high precision. Now, Baumer is setting new benchmarks in encoder technology with its free software – the Baumer Sensor Suite (BSS) – designed for easy testing and parameterization.

The Baumer Sensor Suite (BSS): A New Level of Insight

The BSS, already established in industrial applications with over 6000 users, is now applicable to Baumer CANopen devices. This PC-based software simplifies the evaluation, selection, and parameterization of IO-Link devices – including Baumer CANopen devices.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Intuitive Encoder Cockpit: The BSS provides a graphical representation of measured values, offering a quick understanding of encoder data. This is particularly beneficial during parameterization.
  • Simplified Parameterization: Users can easily see what the encoder is detecting, eliminating the need for manual comparison of measured values against parameterization settings.
  • Instant Connection: The EB360R encoder connects to the PC instantly using the Baumer USB-C CAN adapter, eliminating the need for external power supplies. This allows for quick assignment of node IDs via the BSS.
  • Wide Device Compatibility: The BSS is compatible with numerous Baumer encoder families and inclination sensors, including the EB360R, EAM580RS, EAM580R, EAM500R, EAM360R, EAM300, EAM280, and GIM360R.

Availability

The Baumer Sensor Suite is available for free download as of March 2024.
