Re: [foxboro] Obsolescence and unavailability of 6 X 8 annunciator keypads

We quit using them for a host of reasons:
Cost of Ann keybds and GCIO to support them.
Long term reliability and support.
Tied the effective operation of the process to that specific 
location/workstation.  If control room needed to evacuate and operate from 
different location the operator needs to have same functionality elsewhere.
When we combined operator responsibilities we couldn't easily combine the Ann 
kybds.
They went the same way as the old CRT touchscreens.  Is anyone out there still 
using those?  Just curious.

Has anyone else here faced this issue?  Our furniture is built for them and we 
like them and they work well for us, so I am a little perplexed as to why they 
are disappearing as a current product.
So is there any good alternative?

Thanks.
