EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS annunciator keyboards easily and effectively organize alarms and process display — for faster operator response and resolution times. Operators find specific functions in assigned locations at all times, without taking extra navigation steps or entering numeric data.
When used as a conventional annunciator, the keyboard draws the operator’s attention to a specific control room area for quick resolution of alarmed conditions.
