The device provides a 4.3" touchscreen used for display and operation along with support for multiple serial interfaces such as EnDat 2.2, FANUC Serial Interface, Mitsubishi High Speed Interface and Panasonic Serial Interface. Additional feedback options, along with incremental signals, will become available in the future through software expansions and firmware updates, the company says.
