Baumer VeriSens Provider User Manual

About this manual

The VeriSens Provider is a software component that enables PC applications or DENSO RC8 controllers to communicate with Baumer VeriSens Smart Cameras over TCP/IP Ethernet. It acts as a client while the camera functions as a server, allowing commands and data exchange.

The guide covers the provider’s installation, the AddController method, the Execute command syntax, a full command reference (e.g., IsConnected, GetDataXYR, RebootDevice), sample programs, and detailed steps to configure the camera for the GetDataXYR function, including required device settings and output string format.
