PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C9L1 is a PanelView 600 Color/Touch/Keypad operator terminal within the PanelView series. This unit features a 5-inch color display for monitoring machine functions. Operators enter process values and system commands using both keypad keys and touch cells. The terminal operates on a direct current supply ranging from 18 to 32 VDC.
The terminal includes 240 KB of internal memory for user application storage. Communication occurs through an RS-232 port supporting the DH-485 protocol. A secondary RS-232 port provides connection to an external serial printer. PanelBuilder32 software configures terminal graphics, data tags, and operator screens. Firmware versions for this terminal range from 1.00 to 4.48 across series A through L.
