New Parker DPS cluster improves vehicle productivity

Parker Vansco, part of Parker Hannifin has launched the DPS cluster, an innovative user interface that makes complete vehicle information accessible in a single centralised location. By incorporating the new cluster, a wide range of industrial vehicles can be operated more efficiently for greater productivity.

The versatile cluster supports up to four CAN communication channels, as well as USB, RS232, J1708 and LIN. The DPS has a maximum of 39 digital inputs, five analogue inputs, two frequency inputs and six outputs. The outputs provide a maximum current of 2.5 A, and analogue feedback for open circuit, shot to battery and ground detection. Pulse width modulation capabilities are also available.

The DPS cluster is ideal for various industrial vehicle applications, available with up to five backlit gauges, 26 positions for LED tell-tales and either a small or large transflective FSTN LCD. The robust enclosure is designed to be used in rugged environments, and has been tested to a suitable mix of standards based on the J1455, ISO and EP455 environmental specifications.

A range of further options are available, including a clock, warning buzzer, buttons and a choice of backlight colours.
