Allen-Bradley 193-PCT Human Machine Interface

Allen-Bradley 193-PCT is a keypad/keyboard accessory for Allen-Bradley human-machine interface (HMI) systems from Rockwell Automation, providing tactile input at operator stations that complement display panels. Listed in the HMI/MMI/OIT product family, the 193-PCT functions as a dedicated input peripheral that interfaces with compatible Allen-Bradley display terminals to capture operator keystrokes and navigation commands. As a distinct part number, 193-PCT identifies this keyboard module within the Allen-Bradley catalog, enabling targeted sourcing for maintenance, replacements, or upgrades in existing HMI installations. Typical applications include manual data entry, function selection, and menu navigation on industrial panels where a physical keyboard is preferred over touch input.
