CANbus Rocker Switches

The CAN Rocker is a CANbus technology-enabled, programmable operator control module. The module is ideal for panels and armrests in heavy equipment and vehicles.

The rugged, multi-position CAN Rocker boasts three switches, each of which features two illuminated legends. Use CAN messages to select nearly any color or brightness with OTTO's exclusive RGB LED capability. Choose buttons with two- or three-position, momentary or maintained action. Customers can snap in alternative buttons and reprogram switches in the field. The CAN Rocker is ideal for panels and armrests in heavy equipment and vehicles.

The standard CAN Rocker ships with a default configuration with pre-specified communications parameters. The CAN Rocker module may be ordered pre-configured 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 Rocker module used.

A customer’s CAN network may include multiple networked CAN devices that communicate with each other.

For networks with multiple CAN Rockers, customers have two options: Either use multiple CAN Rocker base modules, each with their own individual address on the network. Or use one CAN Rocker base module connected to the CAN network and CAN Rocker expansion modules that connect to the base module (not connected directly to the network).

The CAN Rocker base module supports up to seven CAN Rocker expansion modules. The first selectable number in the CAN Rocker’s OTTO Part Number denotes the Module Programming. When ordering, specify either a base module to accommodate 0-7 expansion modules or an expansion module sitting in position 1-7 on the network.
