PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-K4C3A is a PanelView Plus 400 Color Keypad operator terminal in the PanelView family. This human-machine interface unit integrates a 3.5-inch color graphics display screen. Physical keypad buttons provide direct operator control and data entry. The unit includes 64 MB of system memory for project storage and operation. FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime firmware executes application projects on the device. Supported hardware builds include Series A, B, C, D, and E.
The operator interface requires an AC line power source for electrical operation. Integrated communication pathways include a DH-485 port and an Ethernet network interface. An onboard USB port enables connections for external keyboards, mice, and barcode scanners. A Type 1 CompactFlash slot supports removable memory storage for data logging and transfers. The terminal operates in ambient temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius. It complies with a T4 temperature code rating.
