The Allen-Bradley 2711-T9A1 is a visualization component from the PanelView Standard operator terminal product family, specifically belonging to the PanelView Standard 600 product category. This operator terminal is flush mounted to an appropriate enclosure to enable operator and process operators to control the system from a central location in the factory floor level. This operator terminal increases operational accuracy as it provides accurate and real-time data without the need to locally access the instruments used in a system.

The 2711-T9A1 features a monochrome display screen with an approximate diagonal size of 6-inches with embedded 128 touch cells, enabling touch screen operation. It also comes with built-in Remote I/O communication port that supports the legacy protocol. This protocol uses the Allen-Bradley 1770-CD of the Belden 9463 3-wire communication cable. It can be used to communicate with one or more controllers over long distance. It also has a secondary port, an RS232 port with 9-pin sub-D connector used to communicate with alarm and events printers for documentation and historization purposes.

The 2711-T9A1 is externally powered with an AC supply voltage range of 85-264VAC along a frequency range of 47-63Hz. It is mounted to an enclosure rated NEMA Type 12/13, 4X (Indoor use only), IP54, IP65. It has Two (2) built-in status indicators used for indicating hardware fault and communication status. By default, the COMM led should lit green to indicate a normal communication status while the FAULT led shall be de-activated. This operator terminal is configured using the Allen-Bradley PanelBuilder32 programming software which is the common programming software for the entire PanelView Standard product family.

The 2711-T9A1 has a 9-inch grayscale display with a touchscreen input and navigation buttons. The terminal screen supports 4 shades of gray graphics and it has a 640 x 480 resolution. It has dimensions of 16 x 14x 8 in. and weighs 8 lbs. For data storage, it has 1 MB of nonvolatile memory and 310 KB of RAM. The 2711-T9A1 has an input voltage rating of 85 - 264V AC. With the remote I/O port, it supports hassle-free uploading and downloading of applications. It uses PanelBuilder32 software for programming, reusing, and converting applications. The 2711-T9A1 runs the Windows Operating System on 32-bit hardware.

The 2711-T9A1 terminal facilitates work with its custom-designed applications. Its various features include universal language support, analog gauges, and screen security. For online printing, it comes equipped with an RS-232 port and various other ports for connecting to an SLC, a PLC, a scanner, or a Logix controller. The 2711-T9A1 comes with green and red LED indicators that indicate firmware, hardware, and communication faults. The most common Series are: A, B, C, D, E, and F and the most common firmware includes 1.00-4.48.
