Installation Guide

1. Panel Cutout: Prepare panel cutout of 154 × 220 mm (6.08 × 8.67 in) per the installation template.
2. Mounting: Secure terminal to panel using mounting clips. Torque to specification for NEMA 4X seal integrity.
3. Power Connection: Connect 24V DC (18–32V DC range). Maximum draw is 2.9A @ 24V DC (70W). Size wire and power supply accordingly.
4. Ethernet Setup: Connect Cat5e/Cat6 cable to the RJ45 port for EtherNet/IP communication and remote access.
5. RS-232 Configuration: Use the RS-232 port for DF1 serial, DH-485, or printer connections.
6. USB/SD Setup: Connect USB peripherals or insert SD card for application transfer and data logging.
7. Software Loading: Develop HMI application using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (v6.0+) and download via Ethernet or removable media.
8. Remote Access: Configure FactoryTalk ViewPoint for web-based remote monitoring via standard browsers.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 2711P-T7C4D9 and 2711P-T7C4D8?
A: The "9" suffix indicates Windows CE 6.0 with Extended Features (includes Office viewers, IE, RDP). The "8" suffix indicates standard Windows CE 6.0 without extended features.

Q: Can I replace the backlight myself?
A: Yes. The CCFL backlight is field-replaceable. Refer to the maintenance manual for replacement procedure.

Q: What is the maximum power consumption?
A: Maximum power consumption is 70W (2.9A @ 24V DC). Typical operation draws 39W (1.6A @ 24V DC).

Q: Does this terminal support VNC server?
A: Yes. FactoryTalk ViewPoint software enables remote access to terminal displays via standard web browsers.

Selection Tips

• Verify panel cutout dimensions (154 × 220 mm) before ordering
• Size DC power supply for 2.9A maximum current draw at 24V
• Ensure EtherNet/IP network infrastructure is available
• Order FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (v6.0+) for application development
• Consider SD card (1784-SDx) for application backup and data logging
• For applications requiring keypad input, select 2711P-B7C4D9 instead
