Maximum reliability is essential for the operation of safety-critical applications in vehicles and machines – whether in construction vehicles, agricultural machinery or special and commercial vehicles of all kinds.
EAO is expanding the particularly robust Series 09 rugged product family to include the CAN-based HMI Functions of a Rotary Cursor Controller and a Rotary Pushbutton – for modern system integration and reliable operation and navigation in harsh ambient conditions.
The new Series 09 Rotary Cursor Controller (RCC) and Rotary Pushbutton (RPB) modules combine rotary control and pushbutton functions, with the RCC also featuring a digital joystick. Rotary controllers with joystick functions are ideal for simple and efficient navigation within a display or in a user menu. The required functions can be selected directly using the integrated push function of the control unit. The two additional pushbuttons enhance the RCC and RPB functionality and, like the Rugged Keypads, can be customised with individual HALO ring and symbol illumination, and application-specific symbols, depending on the product variant.
Typical applications
- Simple and efficient navigation in display menus or interfaces
- Adjustment of parameters and settings in harsh ambient conditions
The digital joystick capability of the Rotary Cursor Controller operates through a three-axis tilt mechanism. The tilt function in the X / Y direction has been designed with integrated protection against unintentional contact and triggering, so that safe operation is possible even under difficult conditions, for example when the vehicle is moving strongly.
Advantages
- Robust, ergonomic and innovative design sealed up to IP6K9K protection
- Intelligent, reliable HMIs with CAN bus integration
- Programmable symbol and 4-segment RGB halo ring illumination for maximum brightness and modern function feedback
- Maximum flexibility thanks to a modular design and application-specific configuration options
- Excellent haptics and protection against unintentional triggering of the joystick function
Like the existing Series 09 Rugged Keypads, the Rotary Cursor Controllers are available in SUPER and PLUS variants, developed and manufactured to the renowned IATF 16949 automotive standard. With a high degree of safety, our Series 09 Rugged modules not only stand for intuitive but also reliable operation in harsh conditions.
