Sensing and instrumentation specialist Baumer is expanding their range of innovative IO-Link devices and supporting software. Sensors are becoming increasingly important in the advances of robotic and automated systems and Baumer are at the forefront of sensor technology helping customers to develop ever more sophisticated manufacturing systems.
The EB200E Programmable Incremental Encoder is a flexible and cost-effective sensor with IO-Link and designed to precisely record many different measured values. The IO-Link ensures cost-effective integration and parameterization, provides easy speed feedback and is a reliable, long-term solution, even in applications where dirt, dust or fibers are present.
Under the mantra that ‘Digitization begins with the Sensor’ and by exploiting the latest in digital communication interfaces Baumer offers a wide range of IO-Link sensors covering control applications across many industry sectors including inductive, ultrasonic, light barriers, optical distance, flow, level switches, conductivity, radar, and pressure sensors.
The Baumer Sensor Suite (BSS) control software helps engineers to test and evaluate IO-Link devices more efficiently thanks to features such as intuitive visualization of sensor functions. This latest software is an important center piece for application development by allowing the connection of all IO-Link devices to many IO-Link masters on the market.
BSS means users can access a wide variety of sensor functions and settings for new control models, such as Dual Channel and new parameterization concepts, basically allowing engineers to better exploit the full functionality with minimum effort and maximum flexibility.
A plug and work feature to speed-up development processes, while intuitive visualization supports fast and precise parameterization which benefits commissioning engineers and collaborators.
