Transform your control interface—upgrade your old rotary switch to cutting-edge digital rotary technology.
Traditional Rotary Switches
CDS launch their range of cutting-edge digital rotary technology. Rotary switches, also known as rotating switches, are mechanical components designed to change the position of an electrical contact by turning a shaft. This action enables the user to select different circuits or functions within an electrical or electronic system. Unlike toggle or linear switches, rotary switches can support multiple positions with a single rotational movement. Their core components typically include a shaft, rotor, and multiple contacts that are activated based on the rotor’s position.
Introducing the Next Generation: CDS & DWIN’s Smart UART Display Switch
The classic rotary switch has been reimagined with our cutting-edge digital rotary technology. CDS & DWIN unveil a next-generation rotary interface available in three sizes—1.28”, 1.54”, and 2.1”. Each model features a high-quality IPS TFT with either a 240×240 or 480×480 resolution, with the 2.1” version also offering a fully laminated capacitive touch panel.
Powered by a custom dual-core processor, this Smart UART Display Switch expands the capabilities of traditional rotary controls. Encased in a compact encoder-style housing, it combines a single-pole rotary switch with 24 detent positions and an integrated push-button. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial settings and premium electronic applications.
Display Features at a Glance
- 28”, 1.54” and 2.1” circular IPS TFT LCD options
- High-resolution 240 × 240 and 480 × 480 displays for crisp, clear visuals
- Ultra-wide 85° viewing angles in all directions
- 300–350 nits’ brightness for excellent readability
- Fully laminated capacitive touch with optical bonding on the 2.1” model for precise, responsive interaction
At the heart of the system is DWIN’s T5L0 dual-core processor, built on the widely trusted Intel 8051 architecture. This provides smooth UART TTL/CMOS communication with your host microcontroller. Combined with DWIN’s DGUS development platform, creating a complete user interface is fast and intuitive—no coding required. And with 16MB of onboard NOR FLASH memory, even complex UI designs can be stored and executed with ease.
Advantages of Using a Rotary Switch
