Yokogawa AIP826-2 Operation Keyboard

Product Introduction

The Yokogawa AIP826-2 Operation Keyboard is a high-performance interface device designed for operation and monitoring within the Yokogawa CENTUM VP distributed control system (DCS). It serves as an operator’s primary interface to monitor, control, and manipulate process parameters across industrial environments. The AIP826-2 provides a tactile and responsive interface with robust functionality for managing multiple process units, alarms, and system diagnostics.

Engineered for industrial reliability, the AIP826-2 withstands electrical noise, vibration, and temperature variations common in process plants. Its ergonomic design supports intuitive operation, reduces operator fatigue, and ensures precise command input. The keyboard is compatible with a range of Yokogawa DCS components, providing seamless integration, high-speed data interaction, and flexible configuration options.
