The New Baumer Sensor Suite

The Baumer Sensor Suite (BSS) is a cutting-edge software solution that has already garnered a user base of over 6,000 users in industrial applications. The BSS was designed to be a powerful suite, designed for ease of use. It has now been made compatible with the CANopen interface, expanding its versatility even further. By seamlessly integrating with more devices, Baumer is hoping to empower engineers with greater flexibility and efficiency in their projects.

 

Key Features of the BSS

The PC-based BSS is a software designed to create a space for sensor evaluation, sensor choice, and easier parameterization. The hope is to create a system that ensures a reduction in the plant’s engineering department workload, helping to save valuable time and engineering labor costs. The new technology provides an environment where engineers can finally see what the sensor is seeing, an idea that has the potential to become very useful.

 

Encoder Data Insights

This new development can help provide several advancements for engineering staff and the release of the premium tool Baumer Sensor Suite with CANopen looks to restructure the way PCs interact with sensors. It offers engineers a transformative experience by providing a clear and intuitive interface to interpret complex sensor data. With the BSS, engineers can visualize measured values in real time through an intuitive encoder interface, facilitating swift parameterization and troubleshooting.

 

Accelerating Commision Time

The benefits extend beyond ease of use, translating into tangible economic advantages as well.

By streamlining the setup process and eliminating the need for tedious manual comparisons, the BSS significantly reduces project runtime, saving valuable time and labor resources. In addition, the seamless connectivity created by the Baumer USB-C CAN adapter ensures a hassle-free communication link between encoders and PCs to enhance efficiency (ever been frustrated with specialty cable driver software?).

The Baumer Sensor Suite is available as a free download and caters to a wide range of Baumer encoder families and inclination sensors, particularly those utilized in mobile machine applications. The system is compatible with the following product numbers:

• EAM580RS
• EAM580R
• EAM500R
• EAM360R
• EAM300
• EAM280
• EB360R
• GIM360R
• many more…

Anyone who uses these sensors has the ability to integrate the BSS into their plant processes for optimized performance and a streamlined workflow. Baumer hopes the new changes will ultimately drive innovation in the field of mobile machinery.

 

Encoder Engineering

Baumer’s latest addition takes the form of a new sensor suite available at no charge to users. It has been designed to give engineers the ability to view complex sensor data in an easily understandable structure. The ability to see and quickly digest complex information means that engineers will be able to free up time for other tasks.
