EAO has introduced its new Online Product Configurator (OPC) that gives designers full control over their configurations for custom HMI switches. The interactive virtual 3D tool allows engineers and designers to intuitively configure, compare and purchase modular products to meet their specific requirements.
With the configurator, engineers and designers can configure more than 130 components and accessories into more than 2,000 different custom combinations and can view eight switching functions with 194 products. Key features of the new tool include an intuitive interface, visual representation, custom options, compatibility check, downloadable CAD and datasheets, multi-language support and e-commerce.
The intuitive interface simplifies the product selection and customization process, which enables designers to evaluate EAO’s products for specific applications. It also provides high-resolution images and 3D renderings of products in real time to help with customization choices for a more interactive experience. Custom options include material choices, colors, symbols and a variety of technical specifications, including electrical and mechanical characteristics.
The configurator includes a built-in compatibility check to ensure that the selected components work seamlessly together, which prevents potential issues during the implementation phase, EAO said. Downloadable CAD and datasheets are available to help designers select the right products with the most updated and detailed content.
Other features include support for multiple languages and e-commerce, enabling customers to purchase the configured products from authorized EAO partners. Switch types include pushbutton, keylock, selector, lever and emergency stop as well as indicators and potentiometers.
