2711P-B4C5A8

The 2711P-B4C5A8 is a PanelView Plus 6 operator terminal. It is part of Allen-Bradley's Visualization component product catalog that is primarily manufactured for implementing real-time interaction between plant operators and industrial machines or processes. This operator terminal is more commonly termed as Human Machine Interface (HMI), Man-Machine Interface (MMI), and Operator Interface Terminal (OIT). It is powered by an external 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz with a typical power consumption of 20 VA and maximum power consumption of 35 VA. The 2711P-B4C5A8 comes with a combination of input interfaces such as a Keypad and touchscreen interface. Both input interfaces are engineered to be operated up to 1 million actuation at an actuation force of 340 g and 10-110 g, respectively. For maximum operational lifespan, users are recommended to use a gloved finger to protect the input interfaces of the 2711P-B4C5A8. This HMI hardware also comes with a 3.5-inch, color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) colored screen in 18-bit colored graphics. It is coupled with a non-replaceable backlight however, this backlight has a minimum lifespan of 25,000 hours at an operating temperature of 25 Degree Celsius. The 2711P-B4C5A8 comes with a built-in 256 MB Random Access Memory (RAM) and 512 MB non-volatile memory which is used by the 2711P-B4C5A8 to store HMI files such as data logs, recipes, user manuals, reports, and backup HMI projects. The non-volatile memory can be expanded by the installation of a Secure Digital (SD) Card with catalog number 1784-SD1 or 1784-SD2. USB flash drives may also be attached to the available USB ports of the 2711P-B4C5A8, acting as removable storage.

The Allen Bradley PanelView 6 Plus with catalog number 2711P-B4C5A8 is an HMI that allows the user to interact with their machine. It comes with an RS-232 communication port. The user is able to control the operator interface by utilizing the Keypad/Touchscreen to input information and data. This unit is powered using 100-240 VAC power with 256 MB RAM and 512 MB non-volatile memory. The approximate shipping weight and dimensions are 5 lbs. and 14 x 11 x 8 in. The RS-232 terminal is a multi-purpose serial port that supports several different connection methods. This PanelView port has the capability to communicate through DH-485 communication using a serial connection, DF1 full-duplex exchanges with controllers via direct or modem connections, and third-party point-to-point communication. This port works with application transfers and printing as well. The serial port is a 9-pin, male, RS-232 connector, with a cable length of 15.24 meters. The RS-232 serial port supports uploads and downloads between the terminal and a computer with a direct connection.
