The AIP827-1 (AIP827) is a specialized industrial operator interface designed for use with Yokogawa Electric Corporation CENTUM VP Human Interface Stations (HIS). Unlike standard commercial keyboards, this unit is engineered specifically for process control environments, featuring a flat, dust-proof, and drip-proof construction to ensure reliable performance in demanding plant conditions.
It provides tactile feedback and dedicated function keys essential for rapid response during industrial operations, including alarm acknowledgment, window switching, and manual loop control. Connectivity is established via a USB Type-A interface, enabling seamless integration with modern HIS hardware running software Revision 3.03 or later.
The keyboard is supplied with a universal AC adapter supporting global industrial voltage standards. Its robust 2.5 kg construction and “Frosty White” industrial finish reflect a design focus on durability, ergonomics, and long-term control room reliability.

The AIP827-1 is the logical successor to legacy serial-based industrial keyboards. Compared to older DIN-connector models, it offers:
Higher data throughput
Improved hot-swapping capability
Simplified installation via USB interface
Enhanced environmental resistance
It is commonly deployed in petrochemical refineries, power generation facilities, and pharmaceutical plants where operators require fast, dedicated control keys for mission-critical process operations.
Is the AC adapter required for the AIP827-1 to function via USB?
Yes. While USB handles data transmission, the internal electronics and specialized key illumination require the external AC adapter to maintain stable operation.
Does this keyboard support third-party operating systems?
The AIP827-1 is specifically mapped for Yokogawa CENTUM environments. Although it may be recognized as a standard HID device by Windows systems, the specialized process control keys require the Yokogawa HIS keyboard driver for full functionality.
