PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C2 is a PanelView operator terminal built for industrial machinery control. This unit provides visual process monitoring and operator input capabilities. It features a dual input interface consisting of a 128-cell touch screen and ten function keys. Operators can enter machine parameters using either the keypad or touch interface alternately. The hardware contains a 1 GHz processor for responsive interface operations.
The terminal incorporates a color active matrix TFT display with 320 by 234 resolution. Its screen includes a field-replaceable halogen backlight rated for 50,000 hours at 25 degrees Celsius. The terminal operates on an external AC supply voltage ranging from 85 to 264 Volts AC. Internal memory includes 240 KB of nonvolatile memory alongside 170 KB of runtime memory. The unit provides point-to-point DH-485 serial communication for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 and MicroLogix controllers.
