Allen Bradley 2711P-K7C4D8 PanelView Plus 6 700 Keypad Color Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711P-K7C4D8 serves as a high-performance operator interface within the PanelView Plus 6 700 series. This terminal features a 6.5-inch color active-matrix display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, providing crisp visualization for complex machine monitoring. Unlike touch-only models, the 2711P-K7C4D8 utilizes a rugged stainless-steel dominated keypad for tactile data entry, making it the preferred choice for environments where operators wear heavy gloves. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Original, offering a definitive hardware solution for maintaining legacy systems that the manufacturer has officially discontinued.

Technical Specifications

The 2711P-K7C4D8 combines robust processing power with flexible communication interfaces:

Engineering Advantages

• Tactile Input Precision: The physical keypad provides positive tactile feedback for every keystroke. This eliminates input errors in high-vibration environments or applications where operators cannot utilize a touchscreen effectively due to heavy industrial PPE or surface contaminants.

• Streamlined Network Integration: An integrated Ethernet port supports EtherNet/IP for seamless data exchange with ControlLogix and CompactLogix processors. The additional RS-232 port maintains compatibility with legacy serial networks, while two USB ports facilitate rapid data logging and firmware updates.

• Rugged Component Longevity: The PanelView Plus 6 architecture features improved internal hardware compared to older Series 700 units. It executes FactoryTalk View ME applications with higher speed, reducing screen transition latency and improving alarm response times.

• Simplified Maintenance Path: This terminal maintains the same panel cutout dimensions as older PanelView Plus 700 models. It allows for a direct drop-in replacement, avoiding the need for costly panel modifications or rewiring during machine overhauls.

• Industrial Power Isolation: The 24V DC input circuitry includes internal protection against voltage transients. This safeguards the logic board from electrical noise generated by nearby motor starters and high-power switching gear.

FAQs

• Is the 2711P-K7C4D8 unit I receive 100% Brand New?

  Yes. We guarantee this terminal is 100% Brand New and arrives in its original factory-sealed Allen Bradley packaging. Since this model is discontinued by the manufacturer, our factory-new stock provides the most reliable alternative to used or refurbished hardware.

• Can I transfer my existing PanelView Plus 700 application to this unit?

  Yes. The 2711P-K7C4D8 supports FactoryTalk View ME applications. You can restore your existing runtime (.mer) files to this terminal. Ensure your software version matches or is newer than the terminal's firmware for a successful transfer.

• How do the USB ports benefit my operation?

  The two USB 2.0 ports support the connection of industrial flash drives for local data logging of trends and alarms. You can also connect a standard HID keyboard or mouse if required for complex configuration tasks.

• What should I consider when mounting this terminal?

  Ensure the mounting gasket remains seated correctly to maintain the NEMA/IP seal rating. The unit's 4.00 lbs weight requires secure attachment using the provided mounting clips to prevent movement during machine operation.
