2711P-T15C4A8 | Allen-Bradley | PanelView Plus 6 Color Touch Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4A8 functions as the premier visualization hub for complex industrial automation environments. This 15-inch PanelView Plus 6 terminal provides high-resolution monitoring and control for large-scale production lines integrated with ControlLogix or SLC 500 systems. It utilizes 18-bit color graphics and an 8-wire analog resistive touchscreen to deliver precise operator interaction. We supply this unit in 100% Brand New and Original condition, ensuring your facility receives a factory-sealed terminal with zero prior operational cycles or screen degradation.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 2711P-T15C4A8 addresses the technical demands of modern plant floors through optimized hardware and communication engineering:

• High-Performance Processing: The 512 MB RAM architecture ensures rapid screen transitions and fluid data updates, even for applications with thousands of active tags. This processing power eliminates lag during critical alarm events or complex recipe changes.

• Superior Touch Actuation: The 8-wire analog resistive touchscreen requires an operating force of only 10 to 110 grams. This sensitivity allows operators to maintain control while wearing heavy industrial gloves, while the 1-million-press rating guarantees long-term durability in high-traffic zones.

• Vivid 18-Bit Visualization: The 1024 x 768 resolution display provides clear, photographic-quality imagery. This clarity enables technicians to view detailed CAD-style machine overlays and complex trend charts with high contrast, reducing human error in process adjustment.

• Versatile Network Integration: Integrated Ethernet and RS-232 ports support simultaneous communication with multiple controllers. The dual USB host ports simplify data logging and firmware updates via standard flash drives, removing the need for a dedicated engineering laptop at the terminal site.

• Universal Power Compatibility: The 100-240V AC input range accommodates global power standards. The internal power supply filters line noise and handles frequency fluctuations (50-60 Hz), protecting the sensitive TFT logic from industrial electrical transients.

FAQs

• How do I confirm the "Brand New" status of this PanelView?

  We guarantee every 2711P-T15C4A8 arrives in its original Allen-Bradley factory box with intact security seals. Each unit carries a unique UPC (612598876792) and serial number for full manufacturer traceability, confirming the unit has never been installed or refurbished.

• Can the 2711P-T15C4A8 replace an older PanelView Plus 1500?

  Yes. The PanelView Plus 6 series provides a direct migration path for legacy PanelView Plus terminals. It utilizes similar cutout dimensions and supports existing FactoryTalk View ME applications, though you should verify firmware compatibility for advanced features.

• What is the expected life of the backlight and battery?

  The unit utilizes the 2711P-RL15C backlight, engineered for thousands of hours of continuous operation. The real-time clock battery (CR2032 equivalent) lasts a minimum of 4 years at 25 °C and is field-replaceable without disassembling the main logic module.

• Which communication cables should I use for RS-232?

  For standard serial communication to a controller, use the 2711-NC13 cable. For Ethernet connections, standard Category 5e or Category 6 shielded cables provide the best resistance to electromagnetic interference in factory environments.
