The Honeywell 51196694-300 is a ruggedized industrial input device designed for human-machine interface (HMI) interactions in harsh industrial environments. As part of Honeywell’s Experion PKS ecosystem, it enables operators to control, monitor, and configure distributed control systems (DCS), safety instrumented systems (SIS), and legacy TDC 3000 systems. This keyboard integrates a built-in trackball for cursor control, eliminating the need for external mice, and is certified for hazardous areas, making it suitable for oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation applications.
Ergonomic & Rugged Design:
- 86-key QWERTY layout with 12 programmable function keys and a numeric keypad for efficient data entry.
- Built-in trackball (400 DPI) with two auxiliary buttons, supporting precise cursor control in vibrating or space-constrained environments.
- IP65-rated enclosure (dust- and water-resistant) with polycarbonate housing, resistant to 15G shock (11 ms) and 10G vibration (5–500 Hz).
- Backlit keys (adjustable brightness) for low-light conditions, with an ergonomic tilt stand (0°–20°) to reduce operator fatigue.
I/O & Connectivity:
- USB 2.0 interface for plug-and-play integration; optional RS-232/RS-485 adapters for legacy systems (e.g., TDC 3000).
- Hot-swappable design allows replacement without system downtime, ensuring continuous operation in critical processes.
Environmental Resilience:
- Extended operating temperature range (-20°C to +55°C) and storage temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) for extreme conditions.
- EMC compliance with CE, FCC Part 15 Class A, and ATEX/IECEx certifications for hazardous zones (Ex II 2G Ex d IIC T6).
Programming & Compatibility:
- Compatible with Honeywell Experion PKS C200/C300 controllers, HMIs, and Safety Manager systems.
- Supports legacy TDC 3000 systems via adapter kits, enabling seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
