2711P-T15C4D8 | Allen Bradley | PanelView Plus 6 1500 Color Touch Screen HMI

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711P-T15C4D8 serves as a premier industrial visualization solution within the PanelView Plus 6 1500 series. This high-resolution 15-inch graphic terminal enables complex machine-level monitoring and control via a responsive analog resistive touch screen. While the manufacturer has officially moved this series to discontinued status, we provide 100% Brand New, original factory-sealed units to support your critical legacy infrastructure and avoid costly system redesigns. It integrates seamlessly with ControlLogix and CompactLogix platforms to provide real-time diagnostic data and operational control.

Technical Specifications

The 2711P-T15C4D8 combines a large-format display with versatile communication ports to handle data-intensive automation environments.

Engineering Advantages

• High-Resolution Visualization: The 1024 x 768 XGA resolution provides sharp, clear graphics for complex P&ID diagrams and multi-layered HMI screens. This clarity reduces operator error by ensuring all alarms and process values remain legible even at a distance.

• Modular Architecture: The 2711P-T15C4D8 utilizes a separate logic module and display module. This design allows engineers to upgrade the processing power or replace the touch screen independently, significantly lowering long-term maintenance costs.

• Expanded Connectivity: Dual USB ports facilitate rapid data logging and firmware updates. The integrated Ethernet port supports high-speed communication over EtherNet/IP, while the RS-232 port maintains compatibility with legacy SLC 500 or MicroLogix controllers.

• Ruggedized Touch Interface: The analog resistive touch screen survives harsh industrial environments, functioning reliably even when operators wear heavy gloves or when the screen faces oil and chemical splashes.

• Legacy Continuity: Installing this Brand New unit eliminates the need for expensive HMI application migration to newer hardware platforms. It maintains the exact panel cutout and communication configuration of your existing setup, ensuring a "drop-in" replacement experience.

FAQs

• Is this 2711P-T15C4D8 unit a refurbished model?

  No. We guarantee this unit is 100% Brand New and arrives in its original Allen Bradley factory packaging. Despite its discontinued status by the manufacturer, we offer new-in-box stock to support existing industrial systems.

• Can I transfer my old PanelView Plus 1500 application to this unit?

  Yes. This unit runs FactoryTalk View ME. You can restore a runtime file (.mer) or download a project from Studio Machine Edition directly to this hardware. If upgrading from an older "Plus" (v5 or earlier) model, ensure you compile the project for the v6 firmware.

• Does this model support 120V AC power?

  No. The "D8" suffix indicates this is a 24V DC input model. Connecting this terminal to AC power will cause catastrophic failure. Ensure your cabinet power supply meets the 24V DC requirement before commissioning.

• How do I clean the touch screen safely?

  Use a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid using high-pressure water or acidic chemicals, which can degrade the protective layer of the 15-inch touch membrane.
