The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6MD8 is a PanelView Plus 600 operator terminal. This is an electronic device that is designed to meet the visualization requirement of almost any applications from different industries. This device is a highly programmable unit that comes with complete components allowing for immediate utilization.

The 2711P-B6MD8 is typically referred to as a Human Machine Interface (HMI). This operating system provides the user-friendly and configuration environment, providing better user experience and simplicity navigating through each menu and parameter. This operating system hosts a variety of important functions such as support for File Transfer Protocol (FTP), VNC client / server, PDF reader, Active X controls and Third Party Device support.

The 2711P-B6MD8 is equipped with modern specifications. Though it is only equipped with a monochrome display and a 5.-7 inch screen, it has an internal memory that suits the current requirements of microprocessor based systems. It has a 256 Random Access Memory (RAM) and 512 MB non-volatile memory where 79 MB is approximately free as user memory. Additionally, it supports RS232 communication and system protocols such as DH485 and DF1 while the USB ports are used for insertion of USB peripheral devices such as Mouse and Keyboard for alternative operating method; Printer for alarm, events and system files documentation; Flash drive for removable storage.

The current Allen Bradley Panelview 6 Plus 2711P-B6M5D8 is an HMI that allows the user to interact with their machine. This operator interface has a 5.7 in. Monochrome Display. 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 internal memory of 256 MB RAM and 256 MB non-volatile memory. The approximate shipping weight and dimensions are 6 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.
