Intelligent Switches Pave Path To Optimum Human-Machine Interface
With programmable displays, switches have evolved into a flexible, reliable, customizable interface that designers can acquire off the shelf.
The Space-Time (and cost) Continuum of Programmable Switches
Programmable switches reduce the number of switches needed by allowing multiple functions to save space and time by reducing operator errors and training time needed for products.
OLED Switches Dominate in Electronic Device Design
Learn about the almighty OLED switch boasting 65,535 colors per pixel and why it is predominantly used in design projects involving SmartDisplay.
How to Design with a Programmable Switch
Learn how a host system communicates to a serial interface and to a SmartDisplay subsystem. Learn which subsystem fits best into your SmartDisplay design by choosing between a prebuilt subsystem module, an engineering design kit, or writing microcontroller code to manually send images and read switch presses yourself.
A Nice Touch for the Human-Machine Interface
When it comes to human-machine interface (HMI) solutions, sometimes the smallest things have the biggest impact. A case in point are SmartDisplay™ intelligent switches from NKK that are used to control and display multiple functions of a system or a machine, leading to higher levels of performance, flexibility, space-savings, and cost-effectiveness.
A Better Way to Monitor and Control Voltages and Current
What do products as diverse as automotive instruments and electrolyzed-water systems have in common? Each depends on precise monitoring and control of voltages and currents for safe, accurate operating performance. The SmartDisplay™ Single Switch Solution from NKK Switches provides users with these capabilities in a compact package.
