2711-T6C5L1 | Allen Bradley | PanelView 600 Standard Color Touch Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711-T6C5L1 functions as a high-performance operator interface within the PanelView 600 Standard series. This terminal utilizes a 5-inch Active Matrix TFT color display to provide clear, real-time visualization of industrial processes. It features an RS-232 port specifically configured for DH-485 communication, allowing seamless integration with SLC 500 and MicroLogix controllers. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Original, offering a critical hardware solution for maintaining legacy systems that have reached end-of-life status.

Technical Specifications

The 2711-T6C5L1 incorporates industrial-grade components to ensure stable graphic rendering and communication:

Engineering Advantages

• Direct Legacy Support: This terminal replaces obsolete 2711-T6C5L1 units without requiring expensive panel modifications or software rewrites. It preserves your existing PanelBuilder32 applications, allowing for immediate "plug-and-play" installation in established control cabinets.

• Rugged Visualization: The Active Matrix TFT screen provides superior contrast and viewing angles compared to passive-matrix alternatives. This ensures operators can monitor critical alarms and process variables clearly, even in poorly lit industrial environments.

• High-Durability Touch Interface: The 128-cell touch matrix registers inputs accurately under heavy usage. The analog resistive technology supports operation with gloved hands, protecting the internal electronics from the debris and oils common on factory floors.

• Field-Serviceable Backlight: This model features a field-replaceable backlight rated for 50,000 hours. This design allows maintenance teams to restore display brightness on-site, significantly extending the terminal's service life and reducing overall downtime.

• Industrial Power Isolation: The 24V DC input circuitry filters electromagnetic interference and protects the internal logic from voltage transients. This ensures stable HMI performance in environments with heavy motor switching and noisy electrical buses.

FAQs

• Is this 2711-T6C5L1 unit 100% Brand New?

  Yes. We guarantee this HMI terminal is 100% Brand New and ships in its original factory-sealed Allen Bradley packaging. Since this model is officially discontinued, our factory-new stock provides the most reliable alternative to used or refurbished hardware.

• Can I use a standard RS-232 cable for communication?

  No. This terminal uses the RS-232 port for DH-485 protocol. You must use the designated 2711-NC13 communication cable (or equivalent) to establish a proper link between the HMI and your SLC or MicroLogix controller.

• Does this unit require a separate memory card?

  The 2711-T6C5L1 includes 240 KB of internal nonvolatile memory to store application objects, text, and bitmaps. While it supports external ATA memory cards for project backups or transfers, the internal memory typically suffices for standard PanelView 600 applications.

• How do I clean the touchscreen surface?

  Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with mild soap or a non-abrasive industrial cleaner. Avoid using sharp tools or harsh chemical solvents, as these can damage the resistive touch layer and the CCF backlight assembly.
