Product Description
The AIP830-1 is a high-durability industrial operation keyboard designed for the Yokogawa Electric Corporation CENTUM VP Human Interface Station (HIS) environment. Unlike standard commercial keyboards, the AIP830-1 is engineered for 24/7 industrial control room operation, where reliability, speed, and tactile precision are critical.
The AIP830-1-001 variant is a desktop-type operator keyboard that connects via a standard USB interface, enabling seamless integration with industrial PCs running CENTUM VP or CENTUM CS 3000 systems.
The keyboard features dedicated DCS function keys that provide one-touch access to essential control system operations such as:
-
Trend displays
-
Alarm summaries
-
Faceplate control windows
-
Process hierarchy navigation
The membrane-switch design provides high tactile feedback to minimize operator input errors during high-stress process events or plant upsets.

FAQ
Can the AIP830-1 be used with a standard Windows PC?
Yes, but only as a basic keyboard without specialized DCS function capability unless the Yokogawa keyboard driver and CENTUM VP software suite are installed.
Are there versions with a keylock switch?
Yes. The AIP830-1-001 is the version without a physical mode selection switch. Other AIP830 series variants may include keylock hardware for access control.
How should the keyboard be cleaned?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the flat membrane surface. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that may damage key markings or degrade the membrane material.
