The Allen-Bradley 2711E-K14C6 is a keypad operated PanelView Operator Terminal. This operator terminal is specifically a PanelView 1400E. This terminal has a 14-inch CRT color display and comes with DH+ and remote I/O communications, a stud mount, and a NEMA 4X enclosure (for indoor use only). It can be connected directly to SLC-5/04 and a variety of PLC-5 host controllers over a DH+ network.

The 2711E-K14C6 Keypad Terminal has a numeric keypad, arrow keys (up, down, right, and left), and special keys that include Home, Enter, Backspace, Cancel, Select, Raise, and Lower. It also has 21 function keys that are user-definable. These function keys can be assigned to do tasks such as changing screens or turning PLC input bits on. For each screen created, these keys can be assigned to execute different tasks.

The 2711E-K14C6 carries certifications from UL-508, CUL (CSA equivalent), and EU low voltage directive compliance safety standards approvals. To help cut down on electrical noise, and plan and route wiring carefully. A 1400E keypad operator terminal should have its own branch circuit. Protect the input power source with a circuit breaker or fuse with a rating of 15 Amps or less. For optimal performance and safety, do not run power and signal wiring in the same conduit.

The 2711E-K14C6 comes with a 14-inch diagonal CRT, 247.6 mm × 185.7 mm image size, 256 fixed colors for screen objects. This operator terminal has a display resolution of color graphical display with resolution of 640 by 480 pixels. The display screen of the 2711E-K14C6 is installed with a built-in anti-glare component for improving the operator’s field of view. The built-in anti-glare has a 95% gloss anti-glare glass strength.

This PanelView 1400e operator terminals is provided with embedded and programmable function keys, numerical inputs and navigational keys to allow full control of the process via the keypad assembly. The keypad interface support local or global configurations as well, allowing maximum control flexibility.

The 2711E-K14C6 also features an internal circuitry that features automatic power supply selection, eliminating the need for DIP switched or Toggle switches for assignment of the correct input voltage range. The rated power consumption of the 2711E-K14C6 is rated 60 Watts minimum, and maximum of 100 Watts. It used a built-in battery, designed for 10 years continuous operation, primarily used to retain the internal real-time clock.

This application allows offline engineering of applications, data transfer, testing and commissioning of the PanelView hardware.
