Hi,

I am currently working on a project related to replacement of control system of an overhead crane. I am using S7-300, comfort panel and other required equipment from Siemens for this project.

However, I don't seem to be able to find a profibus joystick with base (or whatever it is called in industry) from Siemens catalogue.

What am I missing here? Can anyone recommend me some good Joystick with base for this project (preferably made by Siemens).

Regards,

Sabeeh

 Hello Sabeeh,

I don't think and never seen joystick produced by Siemens via Profibus

I found this JC6000 PROFIBUS Rugged Multi-Axis Joystick ... - Scana Mar-El

and try with Google perhaps there are other type

and this interesting application

http://www.runmode.com/s7joystick.html

use Gessmann controllers. http://www.gessmann.com/products/produkte-nach-anwendungsbereich/krananlagen-und-hebezeugbereiche.html#product-group-wrap-2

you will find all kind of combination and also the Protocol you need. If you need any support write to me --deleted E-Mail--
