Caneo series 10

CANEO series10 combines outstanding design and nearly unlimited configuration options. Thanks to its adaptive capabilities, as well as supporting IO-Link and further protocols, this capacitive switch can be seamlessly integrated in networked environments.

  • Freely programmable functions - Switch sensitivity, actuation type and time as well as various output signals
  • 16 million colors - 16 Million fluorescent colors available to choose from
  • 360° Visibility - Perfect visibility of the switch status thanks to 4 lateral spotlights
  • Water-resistant - In case of contact with splash or cleaning water the switch will not activate
  • Adaptive brightness - The switch brightness adjusts automatically or manually to the ambient light
  • IO-Link-capable - Configuration of all function parameters via IO-Link
  • 100% water-proof and oil-proof/vandal-proof - Degree of protection IP69K, shock-resistant IK08
Caneo series4x

As an intelligent HMI device, the series4x combines all the properties and functions of a capacitive SENSORswitch with a signaling device.

Equipped with a Ø 63 mm, 7-segment display, the series4x is the ideal choice for all HMI applications that require an intuitive and clearly visible status display. This saves space and additional costs for further command and signaling devices.

  • IO-Link-capable - Configuration of all function parameters via IO-Link
  • Freely programmable functions - Switch sensitivity, actuation type and time as well as various output signals
  • 7-segment display (depending on variant) - Large status display (individually configurable)
  • Configurable LED ring - Feedback takes place via independently controllable LEDs (16 pieces)
  • Adaptive brightness - The switch brightness adjusts automatically or manually to the ambient light
  • 16 million colors - 16 Million fluorescent colors available to choose from
  • 100% water-proof and oil-proof/vandal-proof - Degree of protection IP69K, shock-resistant IK08

Benefits of Captron Buttons

Water-resistant

The new Sensor Fusion Technology allows friction-free operation, even in wet or moist environments. The CANEO series10 Stainless Steel won’t be activated by splash or cleaning water, but only through intentional contact.

16 Million colors

An innovative lighting concept with four lateral spotlights allows the SENSORswitch not only to appear larger, but also provides 360 degree visibility.

Freely programmable

Via IO-Link, practically all electrical parameters for operating the CANEO series10 can be freely configured. This includes, amongst other things, the scanning sensitivity, the type of actuation, fluorescent color on activation, as well as static or flashing illumination.

Illuminated Symbols

When selecting display symbols, CAPTRON customers also have the choice of countless predefined pictograms, which can also be illuminated. Customized symbol design is also possible.

Adaptive brightness

The CANEO series10 switches automatically adjust their illumination to the ambient light via an integrated light sensor. An ideal function to ensure intense, readily discernible illumination in sunlight and to prevent a glare effect.

Hygienic design

At CAPTRON, compliance with food safety has top priority. The special care taken in this area is reflected in the product-specific declarations of conformity for the most important regulations.
