3.1 R-net Joystick Modules
The R-net control system has two versions of Joystick Module
with LCD Screen, (Fig 3.3), & with LED buttons, (Fig 3.5).
Most of the controls are common to both, however there are
variations between the two. Each of the controls is explained
within this section.

an external device, such as a buddy button.
External Profile Switch Jack (Fig 3.2 & 3.4)
This is a stereo jack socket that allows the connection, via
a suitable adaptor, of two external switches or buttons.
The function of these switches or buttons is assignable via
programming.
Please contact your servicing agent.
The connection details for the mating stereo plug are shown
below.
If the control system is set to latched drive or actuator
operation, then the polarity of External Profile Jack 1 will be
inverted to effect a fail-safe connection for an emergency stop
button.
The Joystick Module is supplied with rubber bungs that must
be inserted into the Jack Sockets when no external device is
connected.
