AMETEK VIS displays are rugged CAN bus-connected Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solutions designed for commercial vehicles, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, mining vehicles, military platforms, and other heavy-duty applications. The company's CAN-Communicator (C-COM) display family enables real-time vehicle monitoring, diagnostics, machine control, camera integration, and operator communication through highly configurable touchscreen displays and digital gauges.
Rugged CAN-Based Display Solutions for Vehicle and Equipment Applications
The VIS CAN-Communicators (C-COM) product line communicates directly with the CAN data bus for rugged or in-cab applications. The product line includes the C-COM 7G 7-inch graphical touchscreen display that is highly configurable without the need for custom tooling. VIS programmers offer as much support as customers need to develop unique, fully custom graphics.
Designed for commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, construction machinery, mining vehicles, utility fleets, and military platforms, the C-COM family serves as a powerful Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution. These displays provide operators with real-time access to machine diagnostics, performance monitoring, fault codes, camera feeds, safety alerts, and vehicle data through a single integrated display platform.
Advanced C-COM GX Camera Display Family
The product line has just introduced the C-COM GX family of 7-inch and 10-inch touchscreen displays with a focus on camera display functionalities.
The C-COM GX series supports multiple analog and Ethernet camera inputs, giving operators greater visibility and situational awareness around vehicles and equipment. These advanced displays can show multiple camera views simultaneously, making them ideal for safety-focused applications in construction, agriculture, mining, and commercial vehicles. They also support event recording, MicroSD storage, automatic brightness adjustment, and customizable screen layouts.
Built for Harsh Operating Environments
VIS standard displays have the ruggedness that competitors offer only on their premium products. That ability stems from its years of experience with off-road applications and AMETEK's deep expertise in manufacturing rugged electronics.
Engineered for extreme off-highway environments, AMETEK VIS displays are designed to withstand vibration, dust, moisture, and demanding temperature conditions. Their rugged construction makes them suitable for heavy equipment, earthmoving machinery, utility vehicles, military platforms, heavy trucks, and other mission-critical applications where reliability is essential.
Custom Graphics, Digital Gauges, and Lightbar Message Centers
In addition to touchscreen displays, AMETEK VIS offers customizable digital gauges and Lightbar Message Centers that provide real-time vehicle information, diagnostics, maintenance alerts, system warnings, and fault-code reporting. OEM manufacturers can customize screen layouts, software functionality, graphics, branding, and operator workflows to meet specific application requirements while maintaining a consistent user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Note: Click the arrow (▶) next to each question to expand and view the answer.
▶ What displays does Ametek VIS offer?
VIS offers a range of vehicle displays, from compact CAN-connected gauge displays to large color smart displays and full digital instrument clusters. Key products include the MDDE3084 digital 8″ heavy-duty smart display, the MDDE3124 digital 12.3″ smart instrument cluster, the C-COM GX CAN Communicator displays, and the C-COM LMC lightbar message center.
These displays present vehicle data, camera views, and operator messages, and are built to withstand harsh vehicle environments.
▶ What are the MDDE3084 and MDDE3124 smart displays?
The MDDE3084 is a digital 8-inch heavy-duty smart display, and the MDDE3124 is a digital 12.3-inch smart instrument cluster. Both are programmable color displays that show CAN-based vehicle data, gauges, warnings, and camera images on a single high-resolution screen for on- and off-road vehicles.
As smart displays, they can be configured to a specific vehicle's instrumentation layout and can consolidate multiple functions — instrumentation, messaging, and camera viewing — into one unit.
▶ What is a CAN bus display and how do AMETEK VIS displays support it?
A CAN bus display is a screen that communicates with a vehicle’s CAN (Controller Area Network) system to show real-time data such as diagnostics, performance, and alerts. AMETEK VIS displays support CAN bus integration, allowing seamless data exchange between vehicle systems. This enables operators to monitor multiple parameters in one unified interface. As a result, it improves efficiency, system visibility, and decision-making.
▶ What is a message center or lightbar message center (C-COM LMC)?
A message center is a display that shows the operator text alerts, warnings, and status information from the vehicle network. The VIS C-COM LMC (CAN Communicator Lightbar Message Center) is a CAN-connected message center that presents this information in a compact lightbar format.
Message centers improve safety and uptime by translating CAN data and diagnostic codes into clear, actionable messages for the driver.
▶ How flexible are AMETEK VIS displays compared to other display solutions?
They offer highly customizable layouts and user interfaces.
Functions can be adapted based on different vehicle applications.
They support integration with various sensors and systems.
Software updates allow easy upgrades without changing hardware.
▶ What makes AMETEK VIS displays different from standard vehicle displays?
They combine ADAS, camera systems, and monitoring into a single platform. Unlike standard displays, they process and manage multiple data sources. They provide a unified user interface instead of separate screens. This reduces system fragmentation and improves coordination.
▶ How does the AMETEK VIS display help improve safety and efficiency?
AMETEK VIS delivers real-time data, camera views, and alerts in one place. This improves situational awareness and reduces operator distraction. Faster access to information enables quicker decision-making. It also helps prevent errors and enhances overall operational efficiency.
