Touch Encoder With SAE J1939 Interface Replaces Conventional Touch Displays, Keypads And Rotary Switches
Posted by on
The Touch Encoder by Grayhill is a fusion of the functionality of standard touch displays, keypads and rotary switches that can support various languages or end product configurations. Whether it's robotics, automation, or other user interface applications, anyone can design a custom experience with great options.
The new Touch Encoder technology applies to many markets, especially where shrinking the user-interface footprint is essential in new designs. For example, medical device product engineers can use a Touch Encoder to simplify designs for equipment controls in ultrasound, patient transport, and sterilization equipment control applications.
The Touch Encoder provides users with a bright, high-resolution screen that is completely customizable, making it much more comfortable and less costly to support multiple languages.

- Library of configurable standard widgets
- Stores hundreds of screens (32MB memory)
- Incorporates pictures: PNG, JPEG, etc.
- Field upgradable application and firmware
- Robust: sealed to IP67, high impact strength, chemical resistant
- 1,000,000 encoder cycles
- USB 2.0 or SAE J1939 (CAN Bus) communications with host device
SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port
The jCOM.J1939.USB gateway board is a high-performance, low-latency vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. It allows any host device with a USB COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with the SAE J1939 vehicle network.
The board supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport Protocol (TP). It is also supported by an extensive programming interface for Windows and Linux/Ubuntu applications, including full C/C++/C# source code for short time-to-market developments.
The strength of the board lies in the fact that the entire SAE J1939 protocol, including all timing requirements, is stored on-chip, thus taking the burden off the main system. The board uses a USB COM port to communicate with the main system, i.e. all data transfer is handled through a standard COM port access.
The communication protocol between the board and the main system is well documented and thus allows a porting to any computer system with a USB connection. Working source code libraries exist for Windows (C# under Visual Studio 2012/2013), Linux and its derivatives (C++ using Code::Blocks), and Raspberry Pi (C using the standard gcc compiler).
