Translator Module

Translator Module

Leading Refuse OEM utilizes HED's CL-306 module to communicate to old and new competitions joysticks.

One of HED's key customers in the Refuse market needed an alternative CAN-based joystick for multiple vehicle control applications; one due to the joystick being obsolete and the other due to supplier quality issues.

Project Challenge:

Need to reverse-engineer the 2 languages in the existing control system, and be able to communicate with the old controller and a competitor's controller.
Need to use a standard CAN-based joystick that communicates via J1939 so that future changes could be made more simply.
Translate code from J1939 Standard to controller's anticipated structure.

Solution:

HED's customer engineered an innovative solution that could read in a J1939 joystick and translate the message into a controller specific message for each one of the issues they where having. Armed with the right controller, HED's customer was able to use HED's Composer^TM application programming tool to add the necessary control functionality.

Success:

This product helped to alleviate issues with joystick vendors and helped to standardize on one joystick manufacturer, which reduced overall cost and increased performance and reliability.
