Product Description

CP7832-1165-0007 is a membrane keypad. It is a product of Beckhoff Automation, a global supplier of industrial automation solutions. A membrane keypad is an input device that consists of a set of flexible, printed circuit board buttons covered by a thin, flexible layer (the membrane). The design allows for a compact and durable interface for user interaction with electronic devices. The keypad is part of the CP78xx Control Panel series, which are Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) designed for plant and process control applications. Membrane keypads are thinner compared to mechanical keypads, which makes them ideal for space-limited applications and portable devices. These keypads are also lighter than mechanical keyboards. The sealed keyboard design prevents ingress of dust and moisture, which makes these keyboards ideal for industrial environments that are comparatively hostile.

The CP7832-1165-0007 keypad is designed for use with CP78xx series industrial HMI units. It works with Beckhoff panels with standard dimensions. The CP78xx control panels are designed for use in plant and machine engineering applications. They feature a TFT display with optional keypad and touchscreen. The panels have four mounting holes for installation. These panels are not designed for use in explosive atmospheres. Storage for the keypad requires -20 to 70 degrees Celsius ambient temperature. The optimal operating temperature is from -10 to 60 degrees Celsius. The keyboard provides tactile response, making it easy to use. Each of keys on the unit has a rated operating life of 1 million presses. This makes the keyboard reliable and durable for industrial use. The control panel must be switched off when connecting cables, including the keypad cable. The control panel must also be switched off prior to cleaning.
