Multibus Keyboard Module Features
The ABB Bailey IIMKM02 connects a standard PS/2 keyboard to INFI 90 control networks. Specifically, it translates key presses into multibus messages for the system controller. In addition, the module supports all standard 102 and 104 key keyboard layouts. Moreover, the 100 Hz scan rate ensures that no keystrokes go undetected. Furthermore, a 256-key buffer stores keystrokes during network congestion. Consequently, operators can enter commands and data reliably from a local keyboard.
Keyboard Interface and Key Code Translation
This keyboard module features a standard PS/2 interface for keyboard connectivity. For instance, you can connect any PS/2 compatible keyboard to the 6-pin mini-DIN port. In addition, the module translates scan codes into ASCII or custom command sequences. Moreover, the isolated keyboard port protects the backplane from static discharges. Furthermore, the module supports international keyboard layouts with different key mappings. Thus, the ABB Bailey IIMKM02 provides flexible operator input for INFI 90 systems.
Energy Storage and Data Retention
This keyboard module stores energy using four onboard capacitors for power filtering. Specifically, two electrolytic capacitors smooth the 5 VDC supply for stable controller operation. In addition, two tantalum capacitors provide high-frequency noise suppression for keyboard circuits. Moreover, a lithium battery retains configuration parameters and key mapping tables. Furthermore, the module includes EMI filtering for noise immunity. Therefore, this module preserves keyboard settings for up to five years without external power.
Installation and Diagnostic Indicators
Five LED indicators provide operational status at a glance on this module. First, a green Power LED lights when the 5 VDC backplane supply is present. Second, a green Run LED flashes during normal firmware execution. Third, a yellow Keyboard Active LED illuminates when a keyboard is connected and powered. Fourth, a yellow Key Press LED flashes each time the operator presses any key. Finally, a red Fault LED indicates hardware errors, keyboard failure, or configuration errors. Additionally, the module includes a locking ejector for secure backplane insertion. Thus, you can diagnose keyboard status instantly without external tools.
