Product Overview

The Yokogawa AIP830-101 is a specialized industrial operation keyboard designed for the Human Interface Station (HIS) within the CENTUM VP and CS 3000 Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Unlike standard computer peripherals, this ruggedized input device is engineered specifically for plant operators, providing dedicated keys for single-loop operations, window calling, and process monitoring.

The AIP830-101 features a flat, durable chassis optimized for control room environments. It integrates an independent USB speaker and a traditional buzzer alarm to provide multi-layered audio feedback for process alerts. Connection to the host system is achieved via dual USB Type-A ports, ensuring stable data transmission for both the alphanumeric input functions and the integrated sound system.
