Product Description
The AIP831-101/EIM is a dedicated operation keyboard designed for the Yokogawa Electric Corporation CENTUM VP Distributed Control System.
Engineered for high-intensity control room environments, this HMI hardware component provides tactile feedback and dedicated functional keys that allow operators to execute commands faster and more securely than with standard commercial keyboards.
The “-1” configuration includes a physical mode selection switch, enabling hardware-level transitions between operational and restricted modes (such as engineering or maintenance), adding an extra layer of process security. The /EIM option ensures that all supplied documentation is in English for international deployment.
