2711P-B4C5D8

The 2711P-B4C5D8 is part of the PanelView Plus 6 series of Human Machine Interface (HMI) devices. Commonly referred to as an HMI, Man-Machine Interface (MMI), and Operator Interface Terminal (OIT). It is mainly used to allow the plant operator to observe and control an industrial machine or process in real-time. The 2711P-B4C5D8 operates by downloading a custom-designed that represents the monitoring and control points of the system. Once the application is downloaded to the HMI hardware, it is stored in the device’s 512 MB non-volatile memory. This runtime environment provides the operator's workspace. Operators view the application through the 3.7-inch colored TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a display area of 70 x 53 mm (2.8 x 2.3 in.). Operator control commands are initiated through a combination of input interfaces, via the keypad assembly which is composed of Ten (10) fully programable function keys and standard navigation and numeric buttons while the touchscreen interface permits direct interaction with the runtime objects, activating commands through touch actions. This HMI sends and receives data to the partner Programmable Logic / Automation Controller (PLC / PAC) via the integrated RS232 communication interface that supports DF1 and DH-485 communication protocol.

The Allen Bradley PanelView 6 Plus 2711P-B4C5D8 is an HMI that allows the user to interact with their machine. This operator interface has a 3.5-in. Color Display. This PanelView Plus 6 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 18-30 VDC power with built-in 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 using 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.
