2711P-B7C4D2

The discontinued Allen Bradley Panelview Plus 700 2711P-B7C4D2 is an operator terminal that enables the user to interface with their machine. This HMI has a 6.5 in. Color Display. The user is able to control the HMI using the Keypad/Touchscreen to input information and data. This unit is powered using 18-32 VDC power. This unit is installed with a logic module that has a 128 MB memory. The approximate shipping weight and dimensions are 8 lbs. and 14 x 11 x 8 in. It supports EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) which is an open industrial network that supports real time I/O messaging, as well as message exchange. The Ethernet port connects to a controller on an EtherNet/IP network by using both the network and standard Ethernet connections. This port can work with application transfers and printing as well. The 2711P-RN20 Ethernet communication module is available for the 700 to 1500 terminals if another Ethernet port is required. The module has its own unique IP address. This port has an RJ45, 10/100Base-T connector for network communication and supports MDI/MDI-X connections. The parameters are downloaded with the application.

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B7C4D2 is a PanelView Plus 700 operator terminal. This terminal mainly features a dual input interface, colored display screen, and an embedded logic module with a variety of communication interfaces. Specifically, it has a 6.5-inch display screen, embedded touch and keypad interfaces, and supports Ethernet I/P, DF1, and DH-485 communication protocols.

The display area of this operator terminal is 132 x 99 millimeters (5.2 x 3.9 inches) while the resolution is 640 x 480 pixels. The screen is made of a Color active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT) with liquid crystal display (LCD) paired with a backlight that has a luminance of 300 cd/m2 Nits. The backlight has an operating lifespan of 50,000 hours.

The touch input available to this device is an analog resistive touchscreen with an operating life of up to 1 million actuations. Similarly, the keypad interface has the same operating lifespan. The lifespan can be maximized if the input interfaces are operated at 10-110 g actuation force and 340 g actuation force for Touch and keypad inputs, respectively.

The communication protocols available to this device both support multiple node communication and point-point communication. For multi-node communication, the Ethernet communication port may be used while for point-to-point communication, the RS-232 port may be utilized. Depending on the communication protocols used, the communication cable requirement differs.

The 2711P-B7C4D2 also has two (2) USB interfaces, ideal for attachment of mouse and keyboard inputs. This provides additional input options aside from the embedded input interface.
