2711P-T6C20D | Allen-Bradley | PanelView Plus 600 Color Touch Interface

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T6C20D functions as a high-performance operator interface terminal within the PanelView Plus 600 series. It features a 5.7-inch active-matrix TFT color display that provides crisp visualization of complex industrial processes. Despite its discontinued status by the manufacturer, we offer this unit in 100% Brand New, original factory condition. This terminal bridges the gap for facilities maintaining legacy architectures, ensuring continued operation without the need for expensive system-wide panel redesigns.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Multi-Protocol Connectivity: The 2711P-T6C20D integrates Ethernet and RS-232 ports directly on the base unit. This dual-communication capability allows the terminal to interface with modern EtherNet/IP networks while maintaining legacy serial connections to SLC 500 or MicroLogix controllers simultaneously.

• Rugged Visualization: The thin-film transistor (TFT) display maintains high contrast and visibility even in harsh lighting conditions. The analog resistive touchscreen responds accurately to gloved operators, facilitating seamless interaction in heavy industrial environments.

• Legacy System Preservation: As a "Brand New" discontinued unit, this HMI serves as a direct drop-in replacement. You avoid the engineering overhead, software conversion risks, and physical cabinet modifications required when migrating to the newer PanelView Plus 7 series.

• Industrial Durability: Built for the plant floor, the unit withstands 2G peak vibration and operates efficiently in temperatures up to 131°F (55°C). The open-style enclosure supports standard panel mounting, providing a NEMA-rated seal when installed correctly.

• Optimized Memory Management: The 20 MB application flash memory provides ample space for complex FactoryTalk View ME projects, including multi-screen navigation, alarm logging, and detailed graphical trending.

FAQs

• Can I still load my existing .MER runtime files onto this module?

  Yes. The 2711P-T6C20D runs FactoryTalk View ME station software. You can download your existing runtime projects via Ethernet or the RS-232 port, provided the firmware revision matches your development environment.

• Does this unit include the 24V DC power connector?

  We supply the 2711P-T6C20D in 100% Brand New condition, including the original factory-shipped terminal block for the 24V DC input.

• How do I replace the backlight if it fails?

  The CCFL backlight provides a minimum 50,000-hour lifespan. While the manufacturer has discontinued the series, the modular design allows for field replacement of the display/backlight assembly without replacing the entire logic module.

• What is the significance of the "D" in the part number?

  The "D" indicates that this specific terminal operates on 24V DC power. Ensure you do not connect this unit to 120/240V AC power, as it will cause permanent damage to the internal power supply board.
