PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C2L1 is a PanelView 600 Color Keypad terminal in the PanelView standard family. This human-machine interface enables real-time process visualization and operator control on automated production lines. It features a 5-inch color display for graphic mimics and status monitoring. The terminal operates on a nominal DC input voltage range of 18 to 32 VDC.
Data entry occurs through an integrated keypad assembly containing ten assignable function keys, numeric keys, and navigation buttons. The unit provides a dedicated DH-485 communication port for point-to-point connection to SLC 500 or MicroLogix controllers. Application files are configured using PanelBuilder32 software and stored in 240 KB of nonvolatile memory. The front bezel meets NEMA Type 12, 13, and 4X indoor ingress protection ratings.
