Features:
- Integrated Keyboard for Honeywell GUS and Z-Style Operator Consoles
- Features a Full-Travel Keyboard with Integrated Trackball and Function Keys
- Supports Reliable Operator Input for Continuous DCS Process Control
The HONEYWELL 51196694-350/U1 Integrated Keyboard serves as the primary operator input device for Honeywell Global User Station (GUS) workstations and Z-Style operator consoles. It combines a 109-key full-travel keyboard, integrated trackball, membrane function keys, and a relegendable function key panel into a single industrial assembly, enabling operators to perform process control, alarm acknowledgement, and graphical system navigation from one compact interface. Designed for continuous industrial operation, the HONEYWELL 51196694-350/U1 provides dependable operator interaction while reducing workspace requirements and simplifying console integration.
The HONEYWELL 51196694-350/U1 is a key component of Honeywell distributed control systems, providing reliable manual input for plant monitoring and process management. Installed directly into compatible Z-Style operator consoles, the 51196694-350/U1 communicates with the host workstation through dedicated console interfaces, allowing operators to efficiently access process graphics, modify operating parameters, and respond to plant events. Its modular construction also simplifies maintenance and replacement while maintaining compatibility with existing control room layouts.
For facilities maintaining legacy Honeywell control systems, the HONEYWELL 51196694-350/U1 remains an important replacement component for existing Integrated Keyboard assemblies. When replacing a damaged unit, using an equivalent 51196694-350/U1 helps preserve the original console cutout dimensions and minimizes installation changes.
The 51196694-350/U1 HONEYWELL Integrated Keyboard may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Distributed Control Systems (DCS) Operation: Serving as the primary Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for operators monitoring complex industrial plants via Honeywell Experion PKS and legacy TDC 2000/3000 environments.
- Heavy Process Industries: Actively deployed in control rooms for chemical processing plants, oil and gas refineries, power generation facilities, and large-scale HVAC infrastructure.
- Console-Integrated Control Rooms: Purpose-built for "Z-Style" or ergonomic console furniture, letting it flush-mount smoothly into specialized operator desks to maintain a clean layout.
- Modular Architecture: The unit bundles a 109-key full-travel alphanumeric keyboard with two distinct flat-panel membrane keypads.
- Customizable Keys: The top membrane serves as a Relegendable Function Key Panel (RFKP). Operators or system integrators can label and program these keys for macro-commands, specific plant displays, or emergency overrides.
- Legacy Interfacing & Modern Adaptation: Traditionally, these panels routed into computing platforms via old ISA slots using an IKBI2 or HBC card. Because modern workstations lack ISA slots, current configurations utilize specialized Honeywell OEP/IKB Adapters to connect the unit via standard serial ports or dedicated dual-serial PCI cards.
- Dual-Input Fluidity: Combining tactile alphanumeric mechanical switches with an integrated 2-inch trackball eliminates the need to switch back and forth to an external mouse. This layout streamlines data entry and cursor navigation in high-stress, rapid-response situations.
- Industrial Durability: Features a rugged plastic and metal housing built with high-grade membrane switches. It boasts heavy resilience against dust, fluid spills, and airborne contaminants typical of industrial control rooms.
- Electrical Shielding: Built with advanced EMI/RFI resistance, ensuring that surrounding heavy machinery, radio frequencies, or electrical noise will not cause signal lag or missed keystrokes.
