Common questions about the ZS40

• Does the ZS40 support CANopen and J1939? Yes — CAN 2.0, J1939, and CANopen groups are available on the ZS40 axis interfaces. Specify your ECU stack in the configurator or RFQ so Trunsin confirms the correct firmware and documentation.
• Can I upgrade from a potentiometer joystick to Hall sensing on the same machine? Often yes, if your valve driver or ECU accepts the new signal type. Hall outputs reduce contact wear and drift compared to worn potentiometer assemblies — see our analog vs digital guide linked below.
• What about CAN bus wiring — termination and addresses? Use 120 Ω termination at each end of the segment, keep stubs short (typically under 1 m), and assign a unique J1939 source address. Read our CANbus joystick wiring guide before first power-on.
• How does ZS40 compare to elobau JE or Caldaro CAN joysticks? ZS40 is aimed at OEM and integrator programs that need multi-axis handles, Configure-to-PDF workflows, and direct factory engineering contact — not consumer-style plug-and-play repair kits.
