The 2711P-T6C20D is a PanelView Plus 600 Operator terminal. This visualization component from Allen-Bradley is a 24VDC powered, touchscreen operated device and provided with a built-in One (1) RS232, One (1) Ethernet and Two (2) USB ports.

This PanelView device is more commonly referred to as a Human Machine Interface (HMI) which is used mainly in the factory floor to provide operators a convenient monitoring and control interface. This operator terminals contributes to lowering operational expense and increases accuracy, efficiency and reaction time to the process. It also lowers the risk of human error as operational details can be seen from a single location.

The 5.7-inch graphic screen can display process mimic in great detail with the implementation of HMI design that uses color schemed animation and representations. Additionally, the touch input interface is a more convenient interface as operators do not need to memorize button assignments when operating the process.

The integrated RS232 interface is practically used for within the panel or slightly remote communication setup. RS232 interface tends to decrease speed as cable distance increases. For long distance communication, the Ethernet port may be used as it also support communication with one or more controllers simultaneously. The USB ports are generally used for insertion of peripheral devices such as keyboard and mouse which provides operational flexibility.

The 2711P-T6C20D is powered by an external power supply range of 18-32 VDC with nominal supply value of 24VDC. This operator terminal comes with 64 MB Flash memory and 64 MB non-volatile memory.

This operator interface terminal runs on DC power. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T6C20D operator interface terminal’s voltage should not be rated at less than 18 Volts DC and not rated at more than 24 Volts DC. The maximum power consumption of this product is 25 W. The 2711P-T6C20D terminal can work in vibrating conditions at up to 57 Hertz at a 2G peak vibration level. The operating temperature range should be anywhere between 32 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit. The non-operating temperature range should be between -13 and 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The 2711P-T6C20D operator interface terminal can communicate with other devices for data input through its RS-232, its Ethernet, and its USB communication ports. This operator interface terminal can accommodate 20 MB of application flash memory for storing all of its applications.
