SOFTWARE FEATURES

CAN Keypad Addresses – Assign any valid CAN address to the keypad. 

CANopen Communications Protocol – Fully compliant with Device Profile 401d. 

J1939 Address Claim Transmission – Keypads no longer have to be pre-programmed to a specific address. This enables customers that work in applications in the field without access to a GUI to use any replacement keypad on-hand. The keypad can be configured to automatically announce its address and accept a new address assignment as appropriate.

Event Status Transmission – The keypad can send messages to the BUS indicating a button press or a button release event has occurred. This confirmation allows digital systems to have the same input acknowledgements as that of the latching position of a mechanical switch.

Periodic Status Transmission – The keypad sends a continuous broadcast of messages indicating the press or release status of each button at that instance. The frequency of these messages can be adjusted in a wide range.

Periodic Heartbeat – The keypad sends a continuous broadcast of messages indicating it is functioning correctly. The frequency of these messages can be adjusted in a wide range. 

Smart LED Management – The intensity of the LEDs can be adjusted, whilst any LED indicator – whether fixed or blinking – can be personalised according to colour preference. Backlighting for the keypad is also adjustable.

HARDWARE FEATURES

IP67/IP69K Waterproof Rating – Guaranteed to be dust tight and sealed against water immersion to a depth of 1 meter for up to 1 hour. The IP69K rating provides protection against high pressure water at high temperature spray downs. 

UV Protected – UVB 400 hours: Keypad is highly resistant to deterioration caused by exposure to sunlight. 

Concave Keys – The ergonomic design simplifies touch navigation of the quick-pick keys. A membrane compensation valve which self compensate the internal pressure within the keypad, alleviating mechanical stresses that can be produced by shifts in external temperatures. The rubber is moulded on the backside in such a way that it acts as a gasket, blocking liquids and preventing them from leaking in through the attachment holes located on the support upon which the keypad is installed.
