Product Overview

The unit is used to control the camera module in the UAV. It helps the pilot in the ground station to control the camera.

The “Hand Control Unit” is a panel-illuminated 7-button hardware that has been ergonomically developed to be used with the fingers of the left hand. It supports bidirectional RS-422 protocol as a communication interface, which can operate in the voltage range of 28V DC ±10%.

HCU is a system that provides the necessary commands with 7 push-pull buttons. The functions of the keys are determined by serigraphy on the panel.

Pressed and released information of 7 buttons is transmitted to the system via the RS-422 communication interface. FCP can test itself and periodically transmit critical faults via the communication interface.
