The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4D2 is a visualization and control hardware solution that is manufactured by Allen-Bradley. This product belongs to the PanelView Plus 700 operator terminals that functions as Human Machine Interface (HMI), enabling real-time interaction between machine and operator from a single location in the plant floor area.

This operator terminal mainly features a 6.5-inch colored display screen with display area of 132 x 99 mm (5.2 x 3.9 in.) and resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. This display is ideal for small and simple application due to the limited workspace however, it comes with a colored display which is capable of providing high level of information compared to grayscale terminals.

Process operator or machine users are provided with an analog resistive touchscreen as the input area. This touchscreen interface is rated for 1 million actuations at an operating force of 10-110 g. To input control commands and navigation to the HMI, the operator simply touches the appropriate area of the screen where the HMI runtime object is displayed.

The 2711P-T7C4D2 comes with a logic module that is fitted with allocated memory areas amounting to 128MB Flash and 128MB Random Access Memory (RAM). It also come with a standard Ethernet and RS232 interface for data exchange with automation devices. RS232 is used for peer-to-peer communication and supports DF1 protocol while Ethernet supports I/P protocol and compatible for linear topology.

The touchscreen has a display dimension of 5.2x 3.9 inches, and a resolution of 640 by 480. The display module also has a screen actuation rating of about 1 million presses around a force limit of 10 to 110G. The 2711P-T7C4D2 has a logic module with Factory Talk View Machine Edition Software, and it comes with an internal flash memory of 128MB (expandable) for data and application storage, and a volatile memory of 128MB with field upgrades to up to 256MB.

It supports an external memory (SD Card) capability slot and has an RS-232 serial communication port for communication with the logic controller and for programming by a PC. It also uses the inbuilt 10 to 100 Mbps Ethernet port for wider network protocols and is built with an internal battery support real-time clock with +/-2 minutes per month accuracy and a battery life of 4 years. The basic configured unit of the 2711P-T7C4D2 uses an isolated DC power supply with a voltage range of 18 to 32 Volts DC. It has an input nominal voltage rating of 24 Volts DC and a power rating of 39W at 1.6 Amps and a maximum power of 70W at 2.9 Amps. The 2711P-T7C4D2 has an operational temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit) at 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity and it is built to withstand a shock of 15G and function without de-rating at an altitude of 2000 meters (6561 feet). It has a net weight of 1.7 kilograms (3.8 pounds).
