Joystick Interface (J105) - Aerotech Ensemble LAB Hardware Manual

Installation and Configuration

2.6. Joystick Interface (J105)

Aerotech joysticks JI (NEMA12 (IP54) rated) and JBV are powered from 5V and have a nominal 2.5V output
in the center detent position. Three buttons are used to select axis pairs and speed ranges. An optional
interlock signal is used to indicate to the controller that the joystick is present. Joystick control will not
activate unless the joystick is in the center location. Third party devices can be used provided they produce
a symmetric output voltage within the range of 0V to +5V.
Refer to the Ensemble Help File for programming information about how to change joystick parameters.
