roduct Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D8 is a 5.7-inch keypad/touch PanelView Plus 6 600 operator interface terminal from Rockwell Automation, engineered to combine visualization, control, and communication into a single integrated unit for machine-level applications. As part of the PanelView Plus 6 family, the 2711P-B6C20D8 merges the display, logic, communication, and power supply into one base unit, eliminating the modular architecture used by larger PanelView Plus terminals and delivering a cost-effective, space-saving solution for OEM machinery, skid-mounted equipment, and plant-floor control panels where operator interaction with Allen-Bradley controllers is required.
At the heart of the 2711P-B6C20D8 is a 5.7-inch color active-matrix TFT display delivering 320 × 240 pixel resolution in 18-bit color with a luminance of 440 cd/m², ensuring clear visibility of graphics, alarm banners, and process data even in brightly lit production environments. Input flexibility is provided through a combination of a stainless-steel membrane keypad with numeric, navigation, and function keys, plus a 4-wire analog resistive touch screen rated for one million actuations. Powered by Windows CE 6.0 and running FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station runtime, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D8 delivers premier integration with the Rockwell Integrated Architecture platform, connecting natively over Ethernet and RS-232 to ControlLogix, CompactLogix, SLC 500, and MicroLogix controllers.
With 256 MB of RAM, 512 MB of nonvolatile memory, a hot-swappable SD card slot for application transfer and firmware upgrades, and two USB ports (one host, one device) for peripheral connectivity and programming, the 2711P-B6C20D8 provides the processing headroom and expandability demanded by modern machine-level HMI applications. NEMA/UL Type 12, 13, and 4X indoor enclosure ratings with IEC IP66 protection, Class I Division 2 hazardous-location certification, and an operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C allow deployment in the most demanding industrial environments. Whether installed on new machinery or as a strategic component in a PanelView Standard migration program, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D8 remains a cornerstone operator interface for Rockwell-based control architectures worldwide.
