ALNW-J: the compact control panel designed for precision industrial control

ALNW-J is ALMEC’s new compact wired control panel, designed for machines equipped with a CAN bus network, combining robustness, durability, and precision control using Hall effect technology with a customisable interface.

The ALNW-J features advanced electronics and customisable graphics to ensure intuitive operation and seamless integration with the machine.

Designed for CAN-BUS industrial applications

The ALNW-J device supports a transmission speed of up to 1 Mbit/s and is compatible with the CANopen protocol (CiA DS401 profile for generic I/O modules).

The coiled cable with reinforced connector ensures high mechanical resistance even in applications subject to continuous movement, such as lifting equipment, material handling machinery, and special vehicles.

Operation is guaranteed within a temperature range from -20°C to +60°C, ensuring reliability across different industrial environments.

Advanced keypad

ALNW-J is equipped with an integrated keypad designed to provide clear visual feedback and intuitive command management:

  • 10 front keys with high-intensity backlighting and integrated spotlight LED

  • Up to 2 left-side buttons (optional)

  • Up to 1 right-side button (optional)

  • Emergency stop button with clean contacts

  • 16 programmable spotlight LEDs

  • 3 bi-color status LEDs (green/red)

  • Power status LED

  • 3-level LED bar

  • Integrated low-intensity buzzer

Each key integrates a spotlight LED to improve visibility in low-light environments and enhance operational clarity.

Precision control

ALNW-J integrates 2-axis miniature joysticks with Hall-effect technology, designed to ensure precision control, reliability, and long operational life (5 million cycles).
An actuation force of 1.5 N ±0.5 N and a deflection angle of ±22.5° ensure smooth and accurate movements, while the absence of mechanical contacts reduces wear and maintains consistent signal quality over time.

Customizable interface

ALNW-J offers a customizable interface designed to improve usability and operational safety:

  • Customizable keypad graphics

  • Integrated backlighting

  • Ergonomic rubber grip

  • Low-profile protection against accidental activation

  • Dedicated LEDs for button and emergency status

Electrical and electronic performance

ALNW-J ensures easy integration and stable operation in CAN BUS-based machine architectures:

  • Power supply: 9–30 VDC

  • Emergency contact rating: max 35 VDC; 2 A

  • Firmware update via CAN BUS

  • EDS file available for rapid configuration

  • Optional serial interfaces: RS232, RS422, RS485
