Allen-Bradley 2711P-B15C22A9P PanelView Plus 7 Performance Operator Terminal

Allen-Bradley 2711P-B15C22A9P PanelView Plus 7 Performance Operator Terminal

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B15C22A9P, also cataloged in the supplied specification data as the 2711P-B7C22A9P PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminal, provides touchscreen and keypad operator input through a 6.5-inch color TFT display with Ethernet and USB communications.

Hardware Specifications

Ethernet Interface and Network Topology

The supplied data identifies two Ethernet ports and an embedded switch/DLR function. These interfaces provide the physical Ethernet connection for the PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminal. The supplied specifications do not define Ethernet data rate, deterministic network timing, packet-processing latency, or specific EtherNet/IP connection limits. Such values should therefore be taken from the applicable Allen-Bradley technical documentation for the verified catalog number.

The embedded switch/DLR designation indicates that the network interface includes a device-level ring capability. External Ethernet cabling should be routed separately from high-energy power conductors where practical, with cable shielding and grounding implemented according to the applicable installation standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What input voltage is specified for the terminal?
A: The supplied data specifies a 100-240 VAC operator-interface input with 50/60 Hz operation.

Q: What operator input devices are integrated?
A: The terminal combines an analog resistive touchscreen with an embedded keypad. The supplied touchscreen specification states an operating life of 1 million presses and an operating force of 100 g.

Q: Are the two model numbers in the supplied material interchangeable?
A: No interchangeability should be assumed. The title identifies 2711P-B15C22A9P, while the detailed specification table identifies 2711P-B7C22A9P. The supplied material does not establish that these catalog numbers are equivalent.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify the exact catalog number on the terminal nameplate before installation and configuration.
• Do not use the conflicting 2711P-B15C22A9P and 2711P-B7C22A9P identifiers interchangeably until the applicable manufacturer documentation confirms the correct model.
• Verify the available supply voltage against the terminal nameplate before energization.
• Route Ethernet and USB communication wiring separately from high-voltage and high-current conductors where practical.
• Maintain appropriate cable shielding and grounding practices for the installed communication architecture.
• Protect the resistive touchscreen surface from excessive mechanical impact and contamination.
• Provide panel mounting clearance according to the installation documentation for the verified terminal model.
• Confirm the network topology before connecting the two Ethernet interfaces, particularly when using the embedded switch/DLR function.
• Do not rely on the supplied weight or environmental data for mechanical or thermal design without resolving the conflicting weight entry and obtaining the verified installation specifications.
