Series: T1

The GRAYHILL Touch Encoder™ combines the simplicity of a dial with the power of a touchscreen display, now with CANopen protocol support for streamlined integration across industrial and mobile control systems. Controlling multiple functions like temperature, lights, drive controls, and battery status is made easy with a single device. The high-resolution touchscreen recognizes gestures such as tapping, swiping, and rotating, allowing users to customize and control various functions and navigate through menus and options seamlessly.

The full T1 Touch Encoder range — including both flushmount and knob styles — has achieved official CANopen certification from CAN in Automation (CiA), giving engineers confidence in protocol conformance and system compatibility when integrating the Touch Encoder into distributed control systems and embedded control systems. As a certified CANopen operator interface, it gives designers a more direct path from operator input to machine function, with less custom integration work than proprietary protocols typically require.

The Touch Encoder’s optically-bonded display and touchscreen provide excellent sunlight readability. With its highly customizable widgets, ability to incorporate pictures, and hundreds of screens, it is a versatile device that fits a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, robotics, aerospace, marine, and mobile equipment control.
