The 2711P-B15C6B2 is a touchscreen/keypad module from the PanelView Plus 1500 series manufactured by the Allen-Bradley line of Rockwell Automation. This device is engineered to operate in an industrial environment with a degree II pollution. The terminal has a 15-inch Color Active Matrix Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Display. In other words, this 15.1 inch (304 by 228 millimeter) display is covered by an anti-glare overlay. The display operates on an 18-bit color depth mode and has an XGA standard resolution (1024 x 768 pixels). The device provides keypad and touchscreen input and has 40 function keys, F1 to F20 (keys that can be programmed and that start functions on the display) and K1 to K20. This keypad can be operated with a bare or gloved finger, whereas the touchscreen is engineered to operate with a finger, gloved finger or a plastic stylus. The 2711P-B15C6B2 is designed as open-type equipment, which means it can be mounted in an enclosure which is engineered for the required environmental conditions.

The 2711P-B15C6B2 has an AC/DC Power Logic Module with 128 MB memory capacity used for recording data or full-color bitmaps. The terminal requires 18 to 32 Volt DC input voltage, and it has a 70 Watt maximum power consumption. This touchscreen can withstand a maximum operating temperature of up to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit). If the device is not being used for long periods of time, it should be stored in a location where the ambient temperature ranges between -25 and +70 degrees Celsius (-13 to +158 degrees Fahrenheit). All of the components have common features which enable easy and cheap maintenance and replacement. The 2711P-B15C6B2 should be connected to its own circuit, and all the cables should be properly grounded to avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference). If there is a possibility of ambient temperature exceeding 55 degrees Celsius, additional user-supplied fan or air-conditioning for cooling is advisable.
