Allen-Bradley 2711R-T4T PanelView 800 – 4.3″ TFT Touch Screen HMI Terminal

Model Allen-Bradley 2711R-T4T

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2711R-T4T is a PanelView™ 800 graphic terminal from Rockwell Automation, engineered to provide cost-effective operator interface functionality for micro and small control systems. As a 4.3-inch widescreen TFT touch screen terminal, the 2711R-T4T delivers high-resolution color graphics and intuitive touch input in a compact panel-mount package. This terminal is specifically optimized for compatibility with Allen-Bradley Micro800™ controllers, including the Micro850 and Micro870 platforms, making it an ideal visualization solution for machine-level applications where space and budget constraints are significant considerations .

The 2711R-T4T features a 480 x 272 pixel transmissive TFT active matrix LCD display with an analog resistive touchscreen overlay rated for one million actuations. In addition to touch input, the terminal includes four function keys (F1 through F4) that can be configured for local or global navigation, alarm acknowledgment, or screen-specific commands. This dual input approach provides operators with flexible interaction options suited to different application requirements and user preferences .

Connectivity is a core strength of the 2711R-T4T. The terminal includes built-in Ethernet, RS-232, and RS-422/485 communication ports, enabling direct connection to controllers via multiple protocols without requiring additional communication modules. A USB host port and microSD card slot provide external storage expansion for recipe management, data logging, and firmware updates. The 2711R-T4T operates from an 18-32 VDC power supply with a nominal 24 VDC input, drawing a maximum of 9 watts, making it suitable for standard industrial control panel power architectures .

Main Features and Advantages

Micro800 Controller Optimization: The 2711R-T4T is purpose-built for seamless integration with Allen-Bradley Micro800 controllers, supporting direct tag referencing and pass-through download capabilities. This native compatibility eliminates the need for complex communication configuration or middleware, allowing engineers to develop and deploy HMI applications more efficiently. The terminal’s Ethernet port provides high-speed connectivity to Micro850 and Micro870 controllers, while serial ports maintain compatibility with legacy devices and point-to-point connections .

Compact Widescreen Form Factor: The 2711R-T4T packs a 4.3-inch widescreen display into a remarkably compact housing weighing just 0.333 kg. The 480 x 272 pixel resolution provides sharp, readable graphics suitable for displaying process values, equipment status, and alarm messages. The widescreen aspect ratio accommodates modern HMI screen layouts and maximizes the usable display area within the limited panel space typical of small machine control enclosures .

Flexible Communication Architecture: Unlike many compact HMI terminals that restrict connectivity options, the 2711R-T4T provides three distinct communication interfaces as standard. The Ethernet port supports networked controller communication and remote monitoring via VNC server functionality. The RS-232 port enables direct point-to-point connection to controllers with serial interfaces, while the RS-422/485 port supports multi-drop networks and longer cable runs. This communication flexibility makes the 2711R-T4T adaptable to a wide range of control system architectures without requiring additional expansion modules .

High-Performance Processing: The 2711R-T4T incorporates a high-performance processor with 256 MB of flash memory and 256 MB of DDR RAM, providing ample capacity for complex graphical applications, recipe management, and alarm history storage. The terminal supports up to 500 alarm records and can manage applications with up to 100 displays, meeting the demands of machine-level HMI applications without performance degradation .
