Product Description
The AIP826 (AIP826-2) is a dedicated operator keyboard designed for the Yokogawa CENTUM VP distributed control system. It provides single-loop operational control for high-intensity control room environments, allowing operators to make rapid process adjustments and acknowledge alarms with tactile, direct-access keys.
The flat-panel industrial design enhances ergonomics and simplifies cleaning, ensuring durability in continuous operation environments. A key feature of the AIP826 is its independent USB-powered speaker, delivering audible alarms and system feedback directly at the operator station.
Although succeeded by the Yokogawa AIP830-001/EIM in newer systems, the AIP826 remains essential for maintaining existing HMI consoles. The unit operates via a USB 2.0 bus-powered interface, eliminating the need for an external power adapter and simplifying installation within desk-mounted or VESA-mounted setups.
