Description

The Duplex Displacement Control Handle has been designed to fulfil the roles of both gunner and driver steer-by-wire interface within armoured fighting vehicles.

The Control Handle has a double pistol grip and is mounted on a central boss. The grips can rotate in two planes to provide turret control (traverse & elevation) or vehicle steering control (azimuth).

The handle has been designed to ease reconfiguration and upgrade in that it incorporates exchangeable switch panels and has capacity for extra azimuth position sensing and mounting of force feedback devices.

Handle position is sensed with non-contact Hall Effect technology, this together with switch positions is available via CAN and discrete signal interfaces.

Features

• Applicable for gun control and steer-by-wire applications
• Exchangeable switch panel on top of each handle (max of 4 switches per panel)
• Dead man's palm lever switch (each handle)
• Incorporates non-contact Hall Effect position sensing technology
• Discrete signal interface (palm and trigger switches)
• Galvanically isolated CAN 2.0B interface supporting MilCAN, CANopen, J1939 and other Higher Layer Protocols
• Covers on port to up-load new program or configuration data, this port can be used for test and diagnostic purposes
• Designed to accept 2 additional angle transducers for azimuth movement
• Designed to accept force feedback azimuth activator mounted on rear
• Built In Test
