Allen-Bradley 2711P-K6M20D PanelView Plus 600 Operator Terminal

Allen-Bradley 2711P-K6M20D PanelView Plus 600 Operator Terminal

Configured for operator input and display functions in a PanelView Plus 600 control system, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-K6M20D (2711P-K6 operator terminal) provides keypad-based physical input, monochrome graphical display, Ethernet, RS-232, and USB communications. The unit accepts an external 18-32 VDC supply.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control and Communication Interfaces

The 2711P-K6M20D provides Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces for operator-terminal communication, with USB available as an additional interface. The two Ethernet ports are part of the terminal communication hardware; the supplied data does not specify network topology, supported protocol revisions, deterministic performance, or communication throughput.

The keypad provides F1-F10 function keys together with numeric input and navigation functions. The specified keypad endurance is 1 million presses.

The supplied documentation contains two display-size references: 5.5 in in the detailed specification and 5.7 in in the feature summary. The detailed specification identifies a 112 x 84 mm display area and 320 x 240 resolution. No additional display-size interpretation is inferred.

The supplied data also lists two different weights, 2.88 lb (1.30 kg) and 2.01 lb. The detailed specification table reports 2.88 lb (1.30 kg); the 2.01 lb value is retained as an unverified secondary source value rather than reconciled without additional documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What supply voltage does the 2711P-K6M20D require?
A: The specified input voltage range is 18-32 VDC, with 24 VDC listed as the nominal power supply.

Q: What physical input method is provided?
A: The terminal uses a keypad with F1-F10 function keys, numeric input, and navigation functions. The supplied specification rates the keypad for 1 million presses.

Q: Which communication interfaces are specified?
A: The supplied data specifies two Ethernet ports, RS-232, USB, and a Communication Module Interface.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Install the terminal using the manufacturer's specified panel cutout and mechanical mounting procedure.
• Provide an external DC supply within the specified 18-32 VDC input range.
• Verify supply polarity and terminal wiring before energizing the unit.
• Route communication wiring separately from high-voltage power conductors where practical to reduce electrical interference.
• Use appropriate shield termination practices for shielded communication cables according to the applicable interface and plant grounding scheme.
• Keep Ethernet and RS-232 cabling within the applicable cable-length and installation requirements for the selected communication interface.
• Protect the terminal and connected wiring against mechanical stress, excessive vibration, moisture, and contamination according to the applicable installation environment.
• Verify Ethernet and serial connections before commissioning operator communications.
• Do not assume hot-swap capability, operating-temperature limits, power-consumption values, or firmware compatibility beyond values documented for the specific terminal and installed firmware.
• The supplied data identifies the 2711P-K6M20D as discontinued; replacement or firmware decisions should therefore be based on the exact installed hardware and documented compatibility requirements.
