PWTR6-J Powertrack rotary encoder 6-buttons keypad, IP67 with joystick function

PWTR6 embodies an advanced CANbus keypad, featuring a joystick and robust IP67 protection.

The 6 quick-select buttons seamlessly complement the functionality of the pushable rotary encoder, which is also available in a joystick version (PWTR6-J). This combination provides
precise and intuitive control of onboard displays, putting everything at your fingertips.

Customization is tailored to your needs: you can personalize the rubber artwork and LED color of each button and backlighting.

Powertrack is available with both CANopen and J1939 protocols.

Model: PWTR-001-6JT

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 event or a button release event has occurred. The event that triggers the message can also be caused by the movement of the joystick or the rotation of the encoder.

Periodic Status Transmission – The keypad sends a continuous broadcast of messages, indicating the status of each button, as well as the positions of the joystick and the encoder 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 – Each light spot consists of three different colored LEDs (RGB). In this way it is possible to independently adjust color and intensity gradient of light spots.

Backward-compatible – PWTR6 uses the same CAN protocols as the legacy Powertrack model. This means that it is possible to replace a Powertrack with a PWTR6 with minor changes to the control unit.

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.

Marked 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.

Independent Key – The device is able to support any multiple pressure key combination.

Ergonomic Knob – This controller is designed for a comfortable grip in any situation, thanks to the textured sides of the aluminium knob.

Encoder With Push button – Use of the knob is both comfortable and
immediate. For example, the knob allows its user to manage scroll &
select operations without letting go of the handle.

RGB LED – Both the LED points on each key and the backlighting can be calibrated to display various colours within the RGB spectrum.
