The current Allen Bradley Panelview 6 Plus 2711P-B6M20D8 is an HMI that allows the user to interact with their machine. This operator interface has a 5.7 in. Monochrome Display. This Panelview Plus 6 allows the user to connect using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition software and an Ethernet and RS-232 communication port with a 2711-NC14 communication cable(s). 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. This unit has 256 Mb RAM and 256 non-volatile memory. 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.

The 2711P-B6M20D8 is a monochrome display, Human Machine Interface (HMI) device from Allen-Bradley. This device is mainly composed of electronic components, primarily used to provide real-time interaction and monitoring of processes or machines. It is part of the PanelView Plus 6 operator terminals, under the sub-category of PanelView Plus 6 600 operator terminals.

The 2711P-B6M20D8 has a 5.7-inch monochrome display screen. Operators and plant personnel may observe the process through the display area of 115 x 86 millimeters (4.5 x 3.4 inches). This display area has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with 16 -levels of gray. It has white LED backlight that is non-replaceable with expected operating hours of 25,000 hours when operated at an environment with 25 degrees Celsius or 77 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a dual operator input interface as it comes with an embedded keypad and touch interface. Both input interfaces are designed to be operated at 1 million actuation with intended actuation force of 340 g for keypad and 10-110 g for touch input. It is recommended to operate this device with the use of a stylus or a gloved finger.

Applications downloaded to this operator terminal are developed using the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition software while the runtime environment is already pre-installed and pre-activated and comes internally installed along the Windows CE operating system.

For communication with automation devices, this operator terminal has one (1) Ethernet, one (1) Serial, and two (2) USB communication interfaces. It can be configured to communicate with PLC5 and SLC500 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and MicroLogix, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC).

Does the 2711P-B6M20D8 comes with an instance of FactoryTalk ViewPoint?

No. FTViewPoint is not supported by PanelView Plus 6 400-600 operator terminals.

Does the 2711P-B6M20D8 capable of communicating with legacy PLC and SLC500 controllers?

Yes. PLC5 and SLC 500 controllers are supported.

Can I view PDF files with the 2711P-B6M20D8?

Yes. PDF file viewer is supported by this device.
