Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4A8 PanelView Plus 6 700 Graphic Terminal

Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4A8 PanelView Plus 6 700 Graphic Terminal

Configured for touchscreen operator interaction in PanelView Plus 6 systems, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4A8 (2711P-T7C4A8 PanelView Plus 6 700 Graphic Terminal) provides direct visual monitoring and control through a 6.5-inch VGA display, Ethernet, RS-232, and USB interfaces.

Hardware Specifications

PanelView Plus 6 Communication and Firmware Characteristics

The 2711P-T7C4A8 provides Ethernet communication at 10/100 Mbps for supported industrial network data exchange. The RS-232 interface supports serial device communication where the application requires a physical serial connection.

Two USB Host ports and one USB Device port provide additional peripheral and service interfaces. Port assignment should follow the terminal hardware documentation and application requirements.

The terminal contains 512 MB of RAM and 512 MB of non-volatile flash memory. Approximately 79 MB of non-volatile memory is allocated for user application storage according to the supplied specifications.

Windows CE 6.0 defines the operating system environment. Therefore, application deployment and firmware compatibility should be verified against the installed PanelView Plus 6 software and terminal revision before field replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What display and touch hardware does the 2711P-T7C4A8 use?

A: It uses a 6.5-inch color TFT transflective display with 640 x 480 VGA resolution and analog resistive touch input.

Q: What power supply does the terminal require?

A: The supplied specification lists 85 to 264 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz, with maximum consumption of 60 VA.

Q: Can the terminal communicate through both Ethernet and serial interfaces?

A: Yes. The hardware provides one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and one RS-232 communication port.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the terminal in a panel cutout that mechanically supports the specified enclosure configuration and maintains adequate service access.

Verify the incoming AC supply before energizing the terminal. Protect the circuit according to applicable electrical installation standards and the equipment documentation.

Route AC power wiring separately from low-level communication and signal wiring where practical. Avoid parallel routing with high-current motor, contactor, or variable-frequency drive conductors.

For Ethernet connections, use suitable industrial-grade cabling and maintain separation from high-noise power conductors. Confirm connector seating before commissioning network communication.

For RS-232 wiring, observe the applicable signal pin assignment and cable length limitations defined by the connected equipment.

Terminate cable shields according to the plant grounding design and equipment documentation. Avoid creating unintended ground loops through multiple shield termination points.

Maintain the specified 0 to 55 deg C operating environment during continuous operation. Do not obstruct the terminal enclosure or installation area with wiring, mounting hardware, or other equipment.

Because the supplied documentation identifies 2711P-T7C22A9P as the replacement model, verify application compatibility, terminal configuration, firmware requirements, and stored application migration requirements before replacement.
