VeriSens® S7 function library – development costs under control

Baumer: VeriSens® Vision sensors can be quickly and easily integrated into system controls. This requires controlling digital inputs and outputs as well as capturing data via Ethernet or RS485. Often however, access to the individual interfaces must first be implemented.

To support this step, Baumer has developed a function library for the SIMATIC® S7 which makes it much easier to connect the VeriSens® Vision Sensors. Along with modules to control the digital inputs and outputs, it contains a communication module to exchange data via Ethernet (TCP or UDP) or RS485. All function modules are extensively documented and accessible in the commented source code. The library supports both integrated and external communication processors of the SIMATIC® S7-300® and SIMATIC® S7-400® controls, e.g. CPU 315-2 PN/DP.

The function library greatly speeds up the development of automation solutions. The operator can concentrate on connecting the VeriSens® Vision sensors without being distracted by the details of interface programming. The performance of the Baumer Vision Sensors is directly combined with the flexibility of the PLC for optimal process control.
