Allen Bradley 2711P-RDK15C PanelView Plus 1500 Keypad Display Module

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711P-RDK15C serves as the primary visualization and input interface for the PanelView Plus 1500 series. This high-resolution display module integrates a tactile keypad with a professional-grade color active matrix TFT screen. It enables operators to monitor complex plant-floor data and input critical commands in environments where touchscreen interaction is impractical. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New, ensuring original factory luminosity and tactile responsiveness for your HMI assembly.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized for Harsh Environments: The tactile keypad interface provides a distinct advantage in facilities where operators wear heavy industrial gloves. Unlike capacitive or resistive touchscreens that may fail under thick grease or chemical exposure, the 2711P-RDK15C ensures positive command registration through physical key actuation.

• Superior Visual Clarity: The 15-inch Color Active Matrix TFT display offers a sharp 1024 x 768 resolution. This high pixel density allows for the rendering of intricate process flow diagrams and high-contrast alarm screens, reducing the risk of operator misinterpretation during critical events.

• Rugged Thermal Management: The module operates reliably up to 55 °C, making it suitable for high-temperature factory floors. The internal components withstand significant thermal cycling, preventing the "display washout" or pixel degradation common in consumer-grade screens.

• Modular Field Replacement: The 2711P-RDK15C attaches directly to the logic module. This modular design permits the replacement of the display and keypad independently of the communication or logic hardware, significantly reducing maintenance costs and hardware waste.

FAQs

• Is this 2711P-RDK15C unit a brand-new original product?

  Yes. We supply this module as 100% Brand New original factory stock. It arrives in the original manufacturer’s packaging with factory seals intact, guaranteeing that the backlight and keypad have zero previous hours of operation.

• Does this module include the logic module or communication card?

  No. The 2711P-RDK15C is the display and keypad assembly only. You must mate this unit with a PanelView Plus logic module (standard or performance) and the appropriate communication module (Ethernet, ControlNet, etc.) to form a complete operator terminal.

• Can I replace a 15-inch touchscreen module with this keypad version?

  Yes, you can swap the display module on a PanelView Plus 1500 series terminal. However, you must update your FactoryTalk View ME application to ensure the software objects correspond to the physical function keys instead of touchscreen targets.

• What are the mounting requirements for this unit?

  The module fits into a standard panel cutout for 1500-series terminals. Ensure you follow the specific torque requirements for the mounting clips to maintain the NEMA/IP seal integrity against the enclosure door.
