PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-K6C8D is a PanelView Plus 600 Color Keypad terminal in the PanelView line. This operator interface incorporates a 5.7-inch color active-matrix TFT display. Visual output provides a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels in 18-bit color graphics. Screen brightness reaches 440 cd/m² for visual clarity in various industrial lighting conditions. A non-replaceable white LED backlight operates for at least 25,000 hours at 25 °C.
Operator input occurs through both a stainless-steel membrane keypad and an analog resistive touchscreen. The keypad includes numeric, navigation, and programmable function keys requiring 340 grams of operating force. The four-wire resistive touchscreen operates with an actuation force between 10 and 110 grams. Both the keypad and touchscreen are rated for one million presses. This terminal requires 24 VDC operating power. Built-in communication options include RS-232, USB, Ethernet, and DH+ connectivity.
