OTTO Controls' JHL Hall effect joystick is a solid choice for meeting stringent performance level (PL) requirements for functional safety. 

An OTTO Application Note discusses functional safety and the JHL joystick with the PLd option.

The new European Machinery Regulation introduces significant changes for machinery safety. Although the regulation will not be mandatory until 2027, it will take time for manufacturers that sell machinery in the European Union to comply. 

Solutions such as OTTO Controls' JHL joystick will help bring OEMs into compliance. The PLd option on the JHL joystick delivers channel redundancy for an added level of protection.
