This Panelview Plus 6 allows the user to control process or machine. The user is able to control by utilizing the Keypad/Touchscreen to input information and data. This unit is powered using 18-32 VDC power. This unit has the 512 MB RAM. If applicable this unit has an internal backlight replacement part number of 2711P-RL15C. The approximate shipping weight and dimensions are 13 lbs. and 20 x 14 x 8 in. EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) 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 EtherNet/IP screen displays and allows the user to modify some of the EtherNet/IP communication settings for a PanelView terminal. 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.
