Description

Brief Product Description

The Allen-Bradley 2711PC-T6C20D8 is a compact, high-performance HMI featuring a 5.7-inch TFT color display and resistive touch interface. This PanelView Plus 6 terminal provides machine-level visualization for small-scale control systems, supporting sophisticated alarm management and data logging in a space-saving footprint.

Advanced Visualization for Machine-Level Control

The 2711PC-T6C20D8 serves as a robust operator interface within the Rockwell Automation PanelView Plus 6 Compact family. By utilizing a 5.7-inch TFT color display with 18-bit graphics, the terminal renders complex process data and machine states with high clarity. This model specifically targets mid-sized automation projects, providing the capacity to manage up to 25 unique display screens and 200 alarm messages. Because the terminal employs vector-based graphics, operators experience crisp visual elements that maintain their integrity even when scaled, ensuring precise monitoring of manufacturing parameters.

Reliable Hardware Architecture and Connectivity

Engineered for continuous industrial service, the 2711PC-T6C20D8 features 256MB of RAM and a high-speed processor that accelerates screen transitions and data refresh rates. The hardware includes integrated Ethernet and RS-232 serial ports, which facilitate seamless communication with various Allen-Bradley Logix controllers and third-party devices. Furthermore, the 24V DC-powered terminal supports external peripheral integration via USB, allowing for the use of physical keyboards or mice when detailed data entry is required. This flexibility makes the terminal an ideal hub for local machine control and distributed monitoring.

Industrial Durability and Data Integrity

Rockwell Automation designed the 2711PC-T6C20D8 to withstand the rigors of the factory floor, featuring a resistive touch screen rated for 1 million actuations. To ensure operational continuity, the unit incorporates a battery-backed real-time clock that maintains accurate timestamps for data logging for at least four years without external power. The backlight offers an extensive 25,000-hour service life, significantly reducing maintenance intervals. Additionally, the terminal supports secure user authentication and data backup protocols, protecting critical system parameters from unauthorized access or accidental loss during power fluctuations.
