2711-T10C9L1

The 2711-T10C9L1 module is a Panelview 1000 terminal of Allen Bradley’s Panelview series. This DC-powered module has a touchscreen input type, allowing user’s to input information to the module through its touchscreen. It comes with an RS-232 communication port, along with a clock that will time stamp important data in real time. This clock is backed by batteries which can be replaced in the field. Another feature of the 2711-T10C9L1 is its field-replaceable backlight. This backlight has an average half-life of 50,000 hours at 25 degrees Celsius. Overall, the module should not be placed in an environmental temperature lower than freezing point (0 degrees Celsius) or higher than 55 degrees Celsius while in operation. In storage, the 2711-T10C9L1 can withstand temperatures as low as -25 degrees Celsius and as high as 70 degrees Celsius, but should not exceed either of those extremes. The highest altitude that this module should be placed at is 2000 meters, although ideally it should be placed much lower than that, in an enclosure rated as NEMA Type 12, 13, IEC IP54, or IP65, or NEMA Type 4X for indoor operations only. Its memory consists of 310 kilobytes of application runtime memory in addition to 1008 kilobytes of nonvolatile memory (which consists of text, bitmaps, and application objects). The 2711-T10C9L1 Panelview has a slot for an ATA flash memory card. With a size of approximately 282 x 370 x 112 millimeters, the 2711-T10C9L1 weighs roughly 3.2 kilograms.

The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C9L1 is a PanelView standard Operator Terminal. It is part of the PanelView Plus 1000 sub-category. This electronic component is typically referred to as a Human Machine Interface (HMI) which is used in a wide variety of industrial applications, enabling real-time interaction between operators and the machine or processes being controlled. This operator terminal helps improve operating efficiency and accuracy as well as contributes to safety of personnel involved in the operating of the system.

The 2711-T10C9L1 comes with a Color-Active Thin Film Transistor (TFT) screen with a diagonal size of 10.0 inches and a viewing area of 211 x 158 millimeters (8.3 x 6.2 inches); it also has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. To view the graphics published to the operator terminal, the device is equipped with a field replaceable backlight with an expected lifespan with a 50,000 hour half-life when operated at 25 degrees Celsius or 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

Operators are able to modify process data and input control commands to the system via the touchscreen interface. The touch cells of the 2711-T10C9L1 are composed of 384 touch cells with an actuation lifespan of 1 million presses. For communicating with control systems such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), the 2711-T10C9L1 has a dual RS-232 communication interface, with one (1) RS-232 port compatible for DH-485 protocol and the other RS-232 port dedicated for printer communication.

The 2711-T10C9L1 is provided with a built-in 1008 KB of non-volatile memory and 310 KB of Random Access Memory (RAM), which is mainly used during the runtime environment of the operator terminal.
