Digital switching systems are network-controlled hardware devices that replace DC mechanical switches with digital power distribution switching systems. Unlike mechanical switches, digital switching systems are programmable and completely customizable to meet the needs of each application. Trombetta delivers standard and customized membrane switches and keypads for challenging digital switching applications involving harsh environments.
The term digital switching refers to a networked method of replacing conventional DC mechanical switches and circuit breakers. In comparison to mechanical circuit breakers, digital switching systems are programmable and can control electronic systems remotely. Digital switching incorporates a single power source with one connection to each load. This eliminates many of the parts and connections required by traditional mechanical systems, significantly reducing the likelihood of failure, corrosion, or other problems.
Digital switching modules are securely sealed to be completely protected from even the most challenging environments. Using a digital switching system that operates on an NMEA 2000 network allows users to control onboard electronic systems, such as lighting, bilge pumps, and security systems, from any area within the NMEA network using a connected device like a smartphone.
Digital switching is used throughout several industries due to the convenience and numerous advantages it provides. Some of the most common applications for digital switching systems include:
In any application, digital switching systems deliver numerous benefits. Some of the most significant advantages of these systems include:
SMP Trombetta digital switching products include keypads and membrane switches that incorporate indicator LEDs as well as LCD and LED displays. Our keypad and membrane switch designs come in standard configurations and are also customizable to meet any specific shape and size requirement. Our rubber keypads are sealed and potted to work in even the most extreme applications.
Digital switching products can deliver significant cost savings throughout the system’s lifetime and provide enhanced reliability in highly challenging environments. Trombetta provides standard and custom digital switching solutions for use in any industry. You can learn more about our products by contacting us today.
Achieve the custom look and feel you want with a fully encapsulated rubberized keypad. If a custom shape is what you want for your product, we can design the keypad around your specific application. If cost is your main concern, you can choose an existing keypad design that we can customize to meet your budget but still give you the custom look you desire.
Trombetta CAN keypads can be made to work in a J1939, NMEA 2000, or CANopen platform to make implementation easy.
