The JS6000 features metal construction with a large diameter stainless steel operating shaft, an
innovative ball and socket gimbal design manufactured from pressure die cast zinc alloys, a custom high
strength material for the center return cone, and optional contactless Hall effect sensing technology.
The CAN+ version of the JS6000 base allows the value and state of up to eleven digital or seven digital
and four analog inputs from external-to-the-joystick sources to be broadcast along with joystick
Controller Area network (CAN) messages.
The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) version of the JS6000 base can be used to directly drive a valve, such
as the H1 hydrostatic transmission, without an intermediate microcontroller. This version allows joystick
operating parameters (e.g. ramp rates, button function assignments, output characteristics) to be
configured using the PLUS+1® Service Tool interface. Refer to JS6000 PWM User Manual, 11060942 for
instructions and information required to configure JS6000 PWM joystick options.
The flexible design of the JS6000 offers many options, making it the right choice for applications that
require more than a simple dual axis joystick with spring return to center.

Potentiometer sensor
The potentiometer sensor electrical connections are made via a 16 pin AMP 040 series MULTILOCK
connector mounted on the base of the unit.
Potentiometer outputs are ratiometric. The output value is dependent on the supply voltage. When the
joystick handle returns to center, the output will be between 48% and 52% of supply voltage (Vs).

Center tap
A center tap is standard on all potentiometer tracks, where 50% of the supply voltage can be supplied to
force the sensor voltage to this known reference. When the center tap is not connected there will be a
center dead band (where the voltage output does not change on initial deflection) and the output
voltage will be between 48 and 52% of the supply voltage.
Potentiometer tracks have directional and normally closed (center on) position switches that operate at
the angles shown in the table below. Switch outputs are independent of the proportional potentiometer
elements on each axis and can be terminated by the customer to provide directional or center on/off
data to the control system.

Warning
Potential uncommanded machine movement. When a JS6000 joystick with the 25% to 75%
potentiometer output option (designated Q or T) is used to directly drive a PVG valve, if the power or
ground side of the joystick is lost, there is a risk of the valve going full on in one direction or the other. To
avoid the possibility of unintended machine motion, the PVG valve must have Active Fault Monitoring.
Dual potentiometer outputs per axis
Dual potentiometer outputs are available that feature independent power inputs and sensor outputs.
The secondary potentiometer output connections are via an 8 pin AMP® connector. Secondary
potentiometer outputs do not provide secondary directional and center switches.
Hall sensing and dual potentiometer outputs are not available together.

Hall effect sensor
The Hall effect sensor option includes dual sensors per axis. The sensors can be supplied from two
separate regulated 5 V supplies for a higher degree of redundancy, or can be supplied from a single
regulated 5 V supply.
Hall effect sensing electrical connections are made via a 12 pin AMP® 040 series MULTILOCK connector on
the base of the unit.
JS6000 Hall effect sensors are affected by temperature. Output values change temporarily by 2.6% and
permanently by 0.6% when subjected to a -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F) operating temperature range
cycle.

Controller Area Network (CAN) output
Three versions of JS6000 CAN joysticks are available:
•

•

CAN (configuration model code CAN)
CAN 2.0bB J1939 protocol and CANopen 2.0B J1939 protocol (reference Code H: Electrical interface options
on page 19 product configuration model code, under H1 electrical interface options on page 19).
CAN+ (configuration model code CPL)
CAN+ output broadcasts joystick shaft position, grip switch states, grip proportional rocker position and
the state and value of up to 11 digital (DIN) or 7 digital (DIN) and 4 analog (AIN) inputs from sources
external to the joystick. The CAN+ option joystick base has an 18 pin DEUTSCH connector.
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) output
One version of the JS6000 PWM joystick is available.
PWM (configuration model code PWM)
The PWM version of JS6000 joystick has two bi-directional PWM channels and six digital outputs. The
PWM option joystick base has an 18 pin DEUTSCH connector.
Code D designates centering spring force options.
The center spring returns the joystick to its center position when released by the operator and provides
the physical resistance to movement when the joystick is operated. Two levels of spring force are
available: heavy and medium. Spring force is selected by choosing a letter from the order character
column of the following table.
Warning
Potential uncommanded machine movement. The spring choice affects the joystick’s ability to resist
system vibrations. Each of the following springs give a different product harmonic range. This, in
combination with critical mass differences as a result of grip choice, results in each system (joystick and
machine) having different vibration characteristics. With this in mind, please consider the vibration range
of the system and determine whether any resonance exists in the joystick. Resonance causes dither and
could cause the joystick to leave neutral.
