The 2711C-K3M is the Allen-Bradley PanelView Component C300 Terminal that provides variable controls and visualization solutions for low-end applications that use Ethernet or serial communications. This device has a monochrome transflective FSTN passive matrix that can interface directly with PowerFlex 4 drives and Allen-Bradley’s Micro800, and MicroLogix controller families.

The 2711C-K3M operator interface comes with a 3-inch display with embedded touch membrane. It has a built-in web browser allowing remote access through Ethernet connection using an emulator address. This operator terminal is installed using mounting and quick-lever clamps which makes the maintenance and installation process easy and convenient. The 2711C-K3M operator terminal accepts downloading of applications developed using the on-terminal programming software. It also has a backup available for at least 5 years and no real-time clock, the terminal is valuable when viewing the results on the terminal during large applications. The users do not have to install the software on the computer, and this saves service time.

The 2711C-K3M uses 24 Volts DC input voltage. For device safety, give the terminal connections regular maintenance. Version 2.0 of the DesignStation software and the Web-enabled software reside in the terminal, which is accessed through a web browser to run applications on the C300 interface panel. The operator input has 10 functional keys which are keys F1 to F10, a numeric keypad with keys from 0 to 9, and up, down, left, right, decimal, +/-, and Enter keys with a USB port as a programming port. The users can view the system information and apply login passwords for secure operations. With a screen resolution of 128 by 64 pixels, it comes with a built-in analog touchscreen. Weighing less than 0.43 pounds with a display size of 67 by 33 millimeters (2.64 by 1.30 inches), the PanelView Component C300 Terminal has a backlight life of more than 50,000 hours. The files can be transferred through the PanelView Component terminal storage and a USB flash drive or a computer.

The 2711C-K3M PanelView Component is especially designed to communicate with MicroLogix, SLC, and Micro800 controllers by Allen-Bradley as well as PowerFlex 4 drives via the integrated communication ports such as RS-232 that supports DH-485 protocol, RS-232 supporting DF1 communication, and RS-485 Multi-vendor communication for Modbus and Siemens MPI devices. This HMI device is also equipped with ports, allowing insertion of external peripherals including keyboard, mouse, and removable storage.

The 2711C-K3M comes with a built-in programming software that does not require installation to a computer. This built-in programming software may be accessed using a standard browser, provided that the programming workstation in connected to the same ethernet network where the PanelView components is also connected. Compatible web browsers are Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Firefox 3.0 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 SP2, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating software. It may also be configured using the DesignStation 2.0 configuration software.

2711C-K3M Panelview component features a3-inch screen having a display resolution of 128 x 64 and display area of 67 x 33 mm (2.64 x 1.30 in.). If is installed with a set of fully programmable function keys, a numeric keypad, directional (up, down, left, right) buttons and increase and decrease button. The 2711C-K3M requires an external DC power supply to energize the unit. Applicable voltage range is 18-30V DC with 24V DC nominal supply voltage.
