NEW FROM OTTO!
The CAN Rocker is a CANbus technology-enabled, programmable operator control module. It has three switches, each of which features two RGB LEDs to denote functions, such as cab temperature and vehicle speed. Use CAN messages to select nearly any LED color or brightness and to program buttons for two- or three-position, momentary or maintained action.
The standard CAN Rocker ships with a default configuration with pre-specified communications parameters. The CAN Rocker 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 Rocker module used. Consult with an OTTO salesperson for pricing and more information.

New from OTTO! The CAN Keypad is a rugged, programmable, CANbus-enabled controller that can communicate with other CAN Keypads, CAN Rockers and CANbus joysticks on the same network. Its snap-in design allows for easy front mounting—vertically or horizontally—into panels or armrests on heavy equipment and vehicles.
Each of the six buttons has a white backlight LED near the center and three full-color, RGB LEDs on the outer edge. The RGB LEDs, which flash in sync or individually, can be set by CAN messages.
The standard CAN Keypad module ships with a default configuration with pre-specified communications parameters. The standard module can immediately drop into a customer CAN network if the network is designed to accept the default parameters. The module may also be ordered as custom part, pre-configured to customer parameters. Consult with an OTTO salesperson for custom pricing and more information. Refer to User Manual (OTTO P/N: 804486-1).
FEATURES: 
- CANbus J1939 and CANopen outputs with integral Deutsch® connector option
- Easy snap-in design
- 24-bit RGB LEDs on buttons are software-controllable for color and brightness
- Custom legends available for buttons
- Center encoder with pushbutton
- Separate input and output connector to easily daisy-chain devices
- Up to 1 million cycles
- Withstands -40°C to +85°C operating temperatures
- Sealed to IP68S
P7 Commercial and MIL-Qualified Subminiature Pushbuttons
OTTO subminiature P7 pushbuttons for commercial and military applications fit small spaces on panels or grip faceplates. The P7 series is designed to meet the requirements of MIL-PRF-8805, including low-level switching (10mA @ 30mV) with power switching up to 5 amps at 28VDC.
The long-life, snap-action design offers low contact resistance (25mΩ max initial) and is protected from the environment by a silicone rubber boot, operating on a “rolling sleeve” principle that gives long sealed life and smooth operation.
Round or square buttons come in nine colors. Excellent tactile feedback assures the operator that contact transfer has been made.
Choose from different mounting styles: Cases on P7-1, P7-2, P7-7 and P7-8 have either a swaged bushing shape for press fit installation in aircraft flight control and hand grips or a threaded bushing mounting. The P7-3 and P7-A case styles have a front panel bezel. P7-5 and P7-6 have conventional bushings for rear panel-mounted installations.
Features:
- Variety of button and mounting styles
- Qualified to MIL-PRF-8805/110
- Moistureproof and dusttight to IP64 and MIL-PRF-8805 Design 2 or watertight to IP68S and MIL-PRF-8805 Design 3
- Less than 25mΩ initial contact resistance
- Low-level switching capability
- Up to 2 million cycles of mechanical life
- Positive tactile feedbackTab Content
