The 2711P-T7C22D8S terminal is a standard graphics display terminal. Allen-Bradley is the manufacturer of this graphics terminal, which belongs to the PanelView Plus 7 series. The terminal comes with a touchscreen interface and 6.5-inch display with 640 x 480 pixel resolution and aspect ratio of 4:3.

The 2711P-T7C22D8S terminal needs a relatively humid environment with 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. It is a 6.5-inch terminal with physical dimensions of 6.69 x 8.35 x 2.74 inches. The terminal comes with a functionality that permits connection to 1 controller and up to 25 screens, and it has support for up to 200 alarms. The terminal uses the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition software which provides an easy user environment for the operators of the terminal.

The panel uses the Windows CE operating system which lets the operators have desktop access for configuration and third-party applications. It also comes with Ethernet ports for controller communication which supports device-level ring network topology. The touchscreen of the display provides accurate, reliable, and durable touch control for modern industrial applications. The touchscreen of the 2711P-T7C22D8S terminal also supports gesture control for interacting with the screen elements. The display terminal has been manufactured to be used in a Pollution Degree 2 rated industrial environment with overvoltage Category II applications as defined in the IEC 60664-1 publications. The panel can be used at an altitude of up to 2000 meters above sea level without any degrading in its performance. The 2711P-T7C22D8S terminal meets the specified NEMA, UL, and IEC ratings when it is mounted in a panel or enclosure.

Aside from the mentioned features, the 2711P- T7C22D8S is installed with Windows CE operating system which not only provide a user-friendly terminal configuration and management interface but also enables a variety of useful functions such as PDF file viewer, remote desktop access, VNC connection, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Active-X controls among other similarly important functions that may be used as integrated features to the runtime environment of this operator terminal. This operator terminal is also equipped with the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Runtime software that comes pre-activated. This provides the runtime environment serving as the terminal’s operator workspace.

Basic features of the 2711P- T7C22D8S include a 7-inch, colored TFT LCD screen with resolution of 640 x 480 VGA that support 18-bit color graphics, viewing area of 132 x 99 mm with aspect ratio of 4:3. The provided operator input area is the analog resistive touchscreen interface that is designed to be actuated up to 1 Million actuations. This controller is compatible with Allen-Bradley’s CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers. Communication and data exchange is executed through the dual Ethernet communication interfaces which may be implemented in Linear, Star and Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies.
