Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D PanelView Plus 600 Color Keypad/Touch Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D serves as a high-performance operator interface within the PanelView Plus 600 series. This terminal combines a responsive analog resistive touchscreen with a physical keypad to provide redundant input options for industrial environments. It enables real-time visualization and control of complex automated processes. Despite manufacturer discontinuation, we offer this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your legacy systems maintain peak operation without the risks associated with used hardware.

Technical Specifications

The 2711P-B6C20D integrates robust communication ports and display technology into a compact 5.7-inch frame.

Engineering Advantages

• Dual-Input Redundancy: The combination of a touchscreen and physical keypad solves the common issue of touchscreen failure in harsh environments. Operators can still navigate the system via the tactile keypad if the screen surface becomes contaminated with oil or debris.

• Streamlined Integration: Integrated Ethernet and RS-232 ports allow for simultaneous communication with multiple controllers. This module bridges data between modern EtherNet/IP networks and legacy serial-based DH-485 or DF1 protocols.

• Compact Footprint: The 5.7-inch design fits into tight control panel spaces where larger displays are impractical. It provides full-color visualization without requiring extensive cabinet modifications.

• Rapid Data Transfer: The onboard USB port simplifies firmware updates and project transfers. It also supports external storage for data logging, allowing engineers to archive critical process variables for compliance and troubleshooting.

FAQs

• Can the 2711P-B6C20D replace a "Touch-only" model?

  Yes. This model shares the same communication architecture as the touch-only variants. However, ensure your panel cutout accommodates the slightly different dimensions of the keypad/touch bezel.

• What software do I need to program this unit?

  Use FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition (ME) to develop and download applications. This terminal remains compatible with existing .MED and .MER files used across the PanelView Plus 6 platform.

• Is this a refurbished or "new-open-box" unit?

  No. We guarantee this 2711P-B6C20D is 100% Brand New. It arrives in its original factory packaging with all seals intact, providing the longest possible service life for your discontinued system.

• Does this unit support 120V AC power?

  No. This specific part number requires a regulated 24V DC input. Connecting AC power will result in immediate and permanent damage to the internal logic module.
