YOKOGAWA AIP827-1 Operator Keyboard Unit

Product Dimensions：

The YOKOGAWA AIP827-1 is a specialized Operation Keyboard (Console Type) used primarily with the CENTUM VP and CENTUM CS 3000 Distributed Control Systems (DCS). It is designed for high-reliability industrial environments where dedicated physical controls are preferred over standard PC peripherals.

1. Product Detailed Description

The AIP827-1 is a robust, human-interface station (HIS) component. Unlike a standard QWERTY keyboard, it features 64 function keys, dedicated window-call keys, and alarm management buttons. It is typically mounted on a console or desk to provide operators with tactile, rapid-response control over plant processes.

3. Product Advantages

• Tactile Reliability: Specifically built for 24/7 industrial operations; the keys are designed for high-frequency use and long lifespans.

• Customization: The 64 function keys can be mapped to specific plant segments or frequently used graphics, significantly reducing response time during emergencies.

• Dust and Spill Resistance: Built to withstand the harsh environments of control rooms in refineries, power plants, and chemical facilities.

• One-Touch Operation: Integrated buttons for “Alarm Acknowledge,” “Item Select,” and “Window Call” allow operators to navigate complex DCS menus without a mouse.

4. Important Precautions (Notes)

• Driver Compatibility: Ensure the correct Key Window Extension software is installed on the CENTUM VP/CS 3000 HIS for the function keys to be recognized.

• Power Consumption: Since it is bus-powered, avoid using low-quality USB hubs which may cause intermittent connection drops.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that can degrade the protective coating on the membrane or keycaps.

• Installation: Ensure the keyboard is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface to prevent internal mechanical wear.

5. Product Applications

The AIP827-1 is utilized across various heavy industries that rely on Yokogawa DCS systems:

• Oil & Gas: Monitoring and controlling refining processes.

• Chemical Plants: Managing batch processing and reactor temperatures.

• Power Generation: Supervising boiler controls and turbine parameters.

• Water Treatment: Large-scale automation and facility monitoring.
