Product Description

The AIP830-101/EIM is an industrial-grade HMI keyboard designed for Yokogawa CENTUM VP and CS 3000 Operator Stations. Unlike standard commercial keyboards, it is engineered for 24/7 control room operation, providing dedicated function keys, tactile feedback, and a physical mode selection switch for secure access control.

The AIP830-101/EIM (Part Number: AIP830-101/EIM) includes an English instruction manual and integrates seamlessly with Yokogawa Human Interface Station (HIS) enclosures.

Technical Specifications

Application and Ergonomics

The AIP830-101/EIM is ideal for operators managing complex control loops.

• Dedicated keys for alarm acknowledgment and window calls allow faster response times than mouse-driven input.

• The heavy-duty chassis ensures stability during rapid keystrokes.

• Type A confirmation keys prevent accidental double-strikes or missed inputs during high-stress events.

• The Mode Selection Switch provides a physical security layer, restricting access to sensitive control or engineering functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this keyboard require drivers for CENTUM VP?
No. The AIP830-101/EIM is plug-and-play. Dedicated function keys are mapped via Yokogawa HIS software utilities to enable correct macro execution.

What is the function of the Mode Selection Switch?
It acts as a physical security measure, allowing plant operators to toggle between user levels (e.g., Engineering or Service) to restrict access to critical tuning or manual override functions.
