The 2711E-K12C6 is an Allen-Bradley operator terminal that is part of the PanelView 1200e series. This operator terminal is an obsolete product, which is utilizes a CRT display that contributes to the terminal’s bulky and heavy assembly. This terminal is powered by an input supply voltage range of 90-132 VAC/180-264 VAC and frequency range of 47-63 Hz with power consumption of 65 W, typical and maximum of 90 Watts.

The 2711E-K12C6 has Remote I/O (RIO) and Data Highway Plus (DH+) used for communicating with partner automation devices. Both communication interface support multi-node communication and long distance, high-speed communication. With the provided communication interface, the 2711E-K12C6 may communicate with Allen-Bradley’s Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) such as PLC 5 and SLC500 system and Logix control platform such as CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers, provided these modern controllers support is installed with an appropriate communication module or a gateway. DH+ and RIO protocol both supports data transfer rate of 57.6, 115.2, or 230.4 where up to 5000 Tags may be sent over. Additionally, this terminal has an RS232 communication interface which may be used for local, short distance communication.

The 2711E-K12C6 has a 12-inch colored CRT display with display area of 204 x 137 mm and resolution of 640 x 480 pixel resolution. This terminal allows operators and plant personnel interact with the process via the stainless-steel keypad terminals. This keypad assembly is composed of 21 user-definable Function keys, navigation, confirmation and directional buttons. This keypad interface has an expected lifespan of up to 2 million presses.

The Allen-Bradley 2711E-K12C6 is a PanelView 1200e stud mount color terminal. It comes with a keypad that consists of 21 function keys, which you can assign your own custom labels to, and the keys are numeric keys, option keys, and navigation keys. These keys are sealed, stainless steel domed membrane switches with tactile feedback. It has an actuation force of 1 lb or 0.455 kg and an actuation rating of up to 2,000,000 presses. The key panel has black anodized sheet aluminum with a continuous hard-coated scratch-resistant polyester surface. Its window is comprised of a continuous water-clear polyester on top of chemically strengthened glass. This terminal also comes with a 12-inch 16-color display that is a CRT type and has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

It comes with a switching power supply type that has the capacity to switch between 90-132V AC or 180-264V AC, depending on the available power supply. This terminal also has a frequency range of 47-64 Hz and power consumption that is typically 65 W and 160 VA and a maximum of 90 W and 220 VA. The power-up and midnight degauss of the 2711E-K12C6 terminal are 5.5 A at 115V and 11 A at 230V for 400 ms. Note that the 2711E-K12C6 terminal requires a fuse for every AC line.

The operating temperature of this terminal is 32-122 deg. F and the storage temperature is from -40-185 deg. F. The relative non-condensing humidity is 95% at 0-30 deg. C and its heat generation is a typical 222 BTU/hr and maximum of 307 BTU/hr. The maximum altitude of this terminal is 10,000 feet for operating conditions and 40,000 feet for non-operating conditions. Its operating shock is 15 g peak acceleration and operating vibration is 2.5 g peak acceleration at 58-2000 Hz.

This terminal also comes with an onboard user memory of 256 KB and can be expanded by up to 16 MB using a PC memory. A battery-backed clock is included and you can display the time, leap year-corrected date, and day of the week with it. The time displayed by this clock can be in an AM/PM or 24-hour format and it has an accuracy of +/- 7 minutes each month. Its form-c contact relay is a maximum of 250V, 8 A continuous for AC and 30V, 8 A continuous for DC. The 2711E-K12C6 terminal has a permanent lithium battery that can last for more than 10 years at 30 deg. C.
