Faber‑Com JS Joystick (Model: PJS028418002) — Danfoss / 1‑Button Version

Product Overview

The JS joystick series from Faber‑Com is designed as a two‑ or three‑axis, signal‑output joystick (i.e. providing voltage / ratiometric signals) rather than power outputs. In this variant (PJS028412002), the joystick provides Danfoss‑compatible ratiometric signal outputs and incorporates 4 push buttons on the handle for auxiliary control functions.

This joystick is intended for integration with proportional control systems (e.g. with amplifier / driver modules) where proportional control is required via signal outputs, and where the push buttons can be used to trigger additional functions (e.g. mode switching, speed selection, dump valve, etc.).

Key Features & Capabilities

• Output Type
   Signal / voltage outputs, including ratiometric (compatible with Danfoss valve input), typically in ranges like 0.5 V–2.5 V–4.5 V or 0–5 V / 0–10 V depending on configuration.
• Axes
   Available as 2‑axis or 3‑axis joystick platform, depending on customization.
• Push Buttons
   This handle variant includes 4 push buttons integrated into the joystick handle for user input, function control, or logic triggers (customizable for your application).
• Configurability / Programming
   All calibration and operating parameters (output scale, deadband, output curve, etc.) are configurable via Faber‑Com’s serial programming interface (using an adapter, e.g. PISPR) and their configuration software (SepSim).
• Mechanical / Electrical Specifications
   - Supply Voltage: 10 to 30 V DC (typical)
   - Working Temperature: –40 °C to +70 °C (common for JS / JP / JC series)
   - Output Impedance: typical ~11 kΩ toward reference voltage (for signal version)
   - Connector / Cabling: typically comes with a cable and plug interface suitable for the system (e.g. Molex / industrial connector)
   - Ingress Protection: likely IP65 (typical for joystick families)
• LED / Diagnostic Indicators
   The JS / JP / JC family includes LED(s) under the panel to show status, errors, or calibration feedback (e.g. flashing codes) during parameter editing.

Typical Applications

• As an operator interface for mobile or industrial hydraulics, providing proportional control signals to amplifiers or ECU modules
• Systems where Danfoss ratiometric valve control is used — the JS outputs can drive these signals
• Control panels requiring additional buttons integrated into the joystick handle for auxiliary functions (e.g. mode selection or override)
• Machinery where space or wiring complexity is minimized by embedding control buttons into the joystick rather than separate switches
