Series 84 IO-Link Touch
The freely configurable, bright, and capacitive IO-Link Touch opens up HMI possibilities for a wide range of industrial applications. With the advent of digitization in the industrial sector, machine manufacturers can develop completely new machines and equipment. At the same time, this creates an even more intensive operating experience for the end user. However, to reap the benefits of digitization, machine manufacturers must overcome demanding challenges, for instance, in terms of system complexity or the enormous investment of time and money required to digitally transform their analog machines.
Series 09 Universal Switch
The Series 09 Universal Switch has been developed for E1 applications, includes an integrated connector recess and is ideally suited for use in vehicle interiors – in particular for various switching controls in passenger cars, electric vehicles, buses, trucks and special vehicles.
