EAO, a global leader in Human Machine Interface (HMI) solutions, announces the Rotary Cursor Controller (RCC) as part of its Series 09 platform, delivering exceptional reliability, flexibility, and functional safety for demanding vehicle applications.

Designed for harsh environments in heavy-duty and special vehicles, the Rotary Cursor Controller combines multiple functions into a single, compact module. It integrates the capabilities of a rotary encoder, pushbutton, and digital joystick, enabling intuitive navigation and precise control of vehicle systems and user interfaces. This multi-functionality supports operators in managing complex tasks efficiently while maintaining a high level of safety.

Engineered in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849, the RCC is suitable for safety-relevant applications and supports functional safety requirements in E1-certified environments. Its CAN bus connectivity enables intelligent system integration and flexible programmability, allowing manufacturers to tailor performance and behavior to specific applications.

The RCC is built with a robust, modular design and offers high resistance to harsh operating conditions typically found in construction, agricultural, and specialty vehicles. Advanced illumination features, including programmable RGB halo rings and customizable symbols, provide clear visual feedback, ensuring intuitive operation and improved situational awareness for operators.

With a strong focus on ergonomics, durability, and adaptability, the Rotary Cursor Controller supports a wide range of in-cabin functions such as menu navigation, parameter adjustment, and control of auxiliary systems including lighting, hydraulics, and onboard equipment.

Manufactured within EAO’s automotive competence center and aligned with stringent automotive standards, the RCC delivers the quality, traceability, and performance expected from modern vehicle interfaces.

With the introduction of the Rotary Cursor Controller, EAO continues to advance intelligent HMI solutions that enhance operator safety, improve usability, and meet the evolving demands of next-generation vehicle design.
