PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C3L1 is a PanelView 600 Color Touch/Keypad operator terminal. This human-machine interface includes a 5-inch color display. Operators input data using both a keypad and a touchscreen interface. The terminal operates on an input power supply of 18 to 32 VDC. Internal application memory is 240 KB. The display backlight uses replacement part number 2711-NL5.
The 2711-B6C3L1 provides DH-485 network communication and an RS-232 printer port. The DH-485 port supports point-to-point communication with an SLC 500 or MicroLogix controller. It also supports multi-node communication across a DH-485 network. Direct data table access over DH-485 minimizes the need for extra ladder logic. Applications for this terminal are configured using PanelBuilder32 software. Hardware series range from Series A through Series L with firmware versions 1.00 through 4.48.
