PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B7C15D7 is a PanelView Plus CE 700 Key/Touch Screen in the PanelView family. It delivers human-machine interface control for industrial automation applications. The terminal features a 6.5-inch color display supporting 640 by 480 resolution. This display provides 18-bit color graphics. Operator input combines an analog resistive touchscreen with an integrated physical keypad. The keypad includes dedicated navigation buttons, numeric entry keys, and programmable function keys.
Internal hardware resources include 256 MB of RAM and 256 MB of nonvolatile memory. Operating power requires an input voltage ranging from 18 to 32 VDC. Maximum power consumption is 70 W at nominal 24 VDC. Integrated communication interfaces include Ethernet, RS-232 serial, and two USB ports. A ControlNet communication interface provides scheduled and unscheduled messaging to controllers. The terminal also features a local Network Access port and redundant cabling connections.
