The flat panel, 16-color, 10.4-inch display comes with a NEMA 4X and DH+ / Remote I/O communications. It features high-performance features for optimum control of industrial manufacturing processes. It comes ready to install and offers a low-cost, flexible, fast, and easy operator interface for programmable logic controllers. This is an ideal replacement for traditional control panel systems. The 640 x 480-pixel 2711E-K10C6 Keypad Terminal has a 2.25 MB onboard flash plus a PC memory card option of up to 16 MB. It has a TFT active matrix display with an adjustable and replaceable backlight and a screen saver function. Its display window has chemically-strengthened glass and the sealed membrane switches are hard-coated for scratch resistance. Plus, it is further protected by a reinforced plastic bezel. The 2711E-K10C6 features enhanced terminal communications and functions. It can occupy ¼, ½, 1/3, or all 64 RIO racks. It supports connectivity with multiple PLCs over a data highway plus network. And it has a panel with numeric entry, cursor control, 21 user-definable keys, and other special function keys.

The Allen-Bradley 2711E-K10C6 is a PanelView 1000e operator terminal. This operator terminal is one of the earlier operator terminals produced by Allen-Bradley. It is used to allow operators and plant personnel to control industrial machine or processes. It centralizes data of one or more PLCs by communication through any of the provided communication ports to the terminal.

Specifically, the 2711E-K10C6 comes with multiple communication options such as the Data Highway Plus (DH+), Remote I/O, and RS-232 communication ports. DH+ and Remote I/O are used for multi-node, long distance communication. Both protocols use the same communication media such as the Belden 9463 or Belden Blue Hose cable. The RS-232 interface is mainly used for short-distance, Point-to-Point communication interface as it supports DF1 communication protocol. Communication media used for RS-232 data exchanged can be custom built using a 9-Pin Sub-D connector.

The available display graphic to the 2711E-K10C6 is a 10.4-inch diagonal TFT Active Matrix Display, with 211.2 x 158.4 millimeter image size. It also comes with a keypad input interface with key panels made of sealed, stainless steel dome membrane switches with tactile feedback. Operate the keypad with an actuation force of 1 pound (0.455 kilograms). Each key is designed to be operated up to 2,000,000 presses.
