Allen Bradley 2711-K10C8 PanelView 1000 Color Keypad Operator Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711-K10C8 functions as a high-performance Human-Machine Interface (HMI) within the PanelView Standard family. It features a 10.1-inch Color Active Matrix TFT display that provides crisp, 640 x 480 resolution for complex industrial process visualization. This specific model utilizes a tactile keypad interface with 16 assignable function keys and communicates via the robust Data Highway Plus (DH+) protocol. We offer this unit as 100% Brand New original stock, providing a rare opportunity to secure a pristine replacement for this discontinued series.

Technical Specifications

The terminal integrates significant nonvolatile memory to store intensive application objects, text, and bitmaps without the risk of data loss during power cycles.

Engineering Advantages

• DH+ Network Integration: The native Data Highway Plus port allows direct connection to PLC-5 or SLC 500 networks. This eliminates the need for complex protocol converters and simplifies the architecture of legacy control systems.

• Extreme Environment Protection: When installed correctly with the included mounting hardware, the front bezel meets NEMA 4X and 12/13 ratings. This protects the internal electronics against hose-directed water, dust, and oil seepage.

• Tactile Feedback for High-Precision Input: The 16 physical function keys allow operators to trigger critical commands even while wearing industrial gloves. This provides a mechanical reliability that touchscreen-only models often lack in heavy-duty environments.

• Universal AC Power Compatibility: The wide input range (85–264V AC) eliminates the need for dedicated step-down transformers, allowing the terminal to operate globally across various power grids.

FAQs

• Can I still back up my application on this discontinued model?

  Yes. The 2711-K10C8 supports ATA memory cards. This allows you to clone applications, transfer firmware, or maintain external backups for rapid disaster recovery.

• How do I ensure a waterproof seal during installation?

  Always use the original mounting hardware and inspect the gasket before installation. Ensure the panel cutout matches the 211 x 158 mm display area precisely to maintain the NEMA 4X/12/13 rating.

• Does this unit include the latest backlight technology?

  The unit features a long-life backlight rated for 50,000 hours (1/2 life at 25 °C). Because we provide this unit in 100% Brand New condition, you receive the full operational lifespan of the factory backlight, unlike used or refurbished units.

• Is the RS-232 port used for programming?

  The primary RS-232 port on the 2711-K10C8 serves as a dedicated printer port for logging alarms and reports. You typically perform network communications and uploads/downloads via the Data Highway Plus (DH+) port.
