Product Description

The AIP827 is a dedicated industrial operator keyboard designed for the Yokogawa CENTUM VP Human Interface Station (HIS) environment. It provides tactile, hardware-based control for critical process operations, enabling rapid alarm acknowledgment, loop adjustments, and system navigation without relying solely on software interfaces.

The AIP827-2 variant is optimized for global electrical standards, supporting 220–240V AC power systems and carrying CE and C-Tick certification for international industrial deployments. Unlike consumer keyboards, the AIP827 is engineered for 24/7 mission-critical control room operation, featuring a dust-proof and drip-proof flat membrane design that protects internal electronics from contamination and accidental spills.

The Frosty White industrial chassis improves visibility in low-light control rooms while reducing operator fatigue through ergonomic flat-key placement and dedicated function key mapping for process control tasks.

Technical Specifications

Application

The AIP827 is widely used in:

• Refining and petrochemical plants

• Power generation control rooms

• Pharmaceutical and food processing facilities

• Centralized DCS monitoring stations

It is typically installed in desktop HIS consoles or integrated control room operator desks, providing direct physical access to critical control and alarm management functions in safety-focused environments.

FAQ

Q1: Is the AC adapter included?
Yes. The AIP827-2 package includes the dedicated AC adapter required for power and USB operation.

Q2: Can it be used with any PC running CENTUM VP?
Yes, as long as the PC is configured as a Human Interface Station (HIS) and has an available USB Type-A port.

Q3: How does the dust-proof design help?
The flat membrane surface prevents dust and liquid ingress between keys, making the keyboard easier to maintain in environments such as pharmaceutical or food processing facilities.
