PanelView 900 Display and Communication Characteristics
The 2711-T9C8 provides a 640 x 480 pixel color display with a 210 x 131 mm active viewing area. The operator interface uses a resistive touchscreen with 384 touch cells arranged across the display matrix. Application memory differs by terminal series, with 240K bytes specified before Series E and 1008K bytes specified for Series E. Communication interfaces include Data Highway Plus and an RS-232 printer port. The specified communication cable is Allen Bradley 2711-NC13.
The supplied data identifies the display as TFT with CCF backlighting while separately specifying 100,000 hr LED backlight life. These source entries should be verified against the terminal revision before replacement or refurbishment.

Field Installation Guidelines
- Verify the terminal catalog number and series before installation because supplied memory and display data varies by revision.
- Confirm the available AC supply remains within the specified 85-264 VAC input range before energizing.
- Route AC power wiring separately from communication cables to reduce conducted and radiated interference.
- Maintain proper protective grounding according to the installation enclosure and applicable electrical standards.
- Keep DH+ communication wiring separated from high-current motor, contactor, and switching-device conductors.
- Use the specified 2711-NC13 communication cable where the installation requires that cable designation.
- Ensure touchscreen and display surfaces remain mechanically protected during panel installation and commissioning.
- Verify connector seating and cable strain relief before applying power to the terminal.
- Confirm environmental conditions remain within the specified 0-55 deg C operating temperature range.
- Do not assume hot-swap capability unless the applicable PanelView documentation explicitly permits energized module replacement.
- Inspect the terminal display, touchscreen response, communication status, and printer interface during commissioning.
- Where shielded communication wiring is used, terminate shields according to the network installation standard without creating unintended ground loops.
