Grayhill, a leader in human-machine interface solutions, has achieved official CANopen certification from CAN in Automation (CiA) for its Touch Encoder T1 series. This gives designers a standards-based communication option for integrating touch encoder controls into CAN-based systems, while providing greater flexibility when developing next-generation automotive electronics, vehicle controls and human-machine interfaces. The upgraded T1 Touch Encoder range now supports CANopen, delivering streamlined integration across advanced control applications.
The certification applies to the full T1 range, including both flushmount and knob styles, marking an important enhancement to the Touch Encoder series originally introduced by Grayhill.
“Achieving CANopen certification for our Touch Encoder T1 series reinforces Grayhill’s commitment to delivering control interface solutions that are both innovative and easier to integrate. This upgrade gives customers the flexible, standards-based control interface solution they have been seeking,” says Matt Huner, vice president of components at Grayhill.
The upgraded Touch Encoder T1 series delivers key advantages:
• Official CANopen certification from CiA: The full T1 range has been certified by CAN in Automation, giving customers added confidence in protocol conformance and system compatibility.
• Industry-standard communication protocol: CANopen support enables the Touch Encoder to communicate through a widely used standard for CAN-based embedded networks and automation systems.
• Expanded integration flexibility: Available across both flushmount and knob styles, the CANopen-certified T1 series gives designers more options for incorporating intuitive touch encoder control into existing or future systems.
