CANbus Keypad

CAN Keypad is a CANbus-enabled module with software-controllable programming options for intuitive operation of heavy equipment and vehicles. The rugged module mounts horizontally or vertically into panels and armrests.

Each of the six buttons has three RGB LEDs on the outer edge that can be set to nearly any color and light intensity. The center encoder has configurable starting and roll-over position values.

The CAN Keypad can communicate with other CAN products, including OTTO Controls’ CAN joysticks and CAN Rocker, on the same network. It can act as a base module for daisy-chaining up to seven CAN Rocker expansion modules.

The standard CAN Keypad ships with a default configuration with pre-specified communications parameters. The CAN Keypad module may be ordered preconfigured to customer parameters to drop into a customer CAN network. In these cases, OTTO will establish a customer-specific part number tailored for every instance of a CAN Keypad module used.

A customer’s CAN network may include multiple networked CAN devices that communicate with each other. The CAN Keypad may only be used as a CAN base module, connecting directly to the customer’s CAN network. The CAN Keypad cannot be used as an expansion module for other CAN Keypads. The CAN Keypad can, however, perform as a base module for CAN Rocker expansion modules. When ordering, note that a base module needs to be configured to communicate to the specific distribution of expansion modules.
