Product Description
The AIP831-111 is a specialized HMI (Human-Machine Interface) hardware peripheral designed for the Yokogawa Electric Corporation CENTUM VP and CENTUM CS 3000 control platforms.
This industrial console keyboard is engineered for multi-loop process operation, supporting simultaneous management of 8 control loops. It provides operators with rapid tactile access to process variables, alarm acknowledgment keys, and dedicated control shortcuts for high-priority operations.
A unique feature of the AIP831-111 is its integrated USB speaker output, allowing alarm and notification sounds from HIS workstations to be played directly through the keyboard hardware. The device uses a dual USB interface architecture to separate:
-
Keyboard HID control signals
-
Audio alarm notification streams
This ensures that control actions and safety annunciations remain independent and reliable.
