Allen-Bradley 6181P-15A2SW71AC VersaView Plus 6181P Display Computer

Allen-Bradley 6181P-15A2SW71AC VersaView Plus 6181P Display Computer

Configured for industrial visualization and operator input, the Allen-Bradley 6181P-15A2SW71AC (6181P display computer) provides direct processing, display, and communication functions. The unit uses a 15 in. color display with resistive touchscreen input, Intel i3-4102E processing, and AC power.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Computer Processing and Interface Characteristics

The 6181P platform integrates processor, storage, display, touchscreen, and communication interfaces within one panel-mounted computer assembly. The Intel i3-4102E processor provides the stated processing platform, while 32 GB memory supports the supplied computer configuration.

Two Ethernet ports provide network connectivity, while two serial ports and one parallel port provide additional peripheral interfaces. Therefore, installation should maintain appropriate separation between communication wiring and power conductors.

The resistive touchscreen detects operator input through physical contact with the display surface. The aluminum bezel forms the exposed front mechanical interface for panel mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: The supplied specifications state 120 to 240 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz.

Q: What display and touchscreen configuration does this model provide?
A: The computer provides a 15 in. 4:3 color display with resistive single-touch input.

Q: Which communication interfaces are provided?
A: The supplied data specifies 2 Ethernet ports, 2 serial ports, and 1 parallel port.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the computer in a suitable panel cutout according to the mechanical mounting requirements specified for the VersaView Plus enclosure.

Maintain adequate clearance around the computer for connector access, cable routing, and heat dissipation.

Route AC power wiring separately from low-level communication and signal wiring where practical. Avoid routing communication cables parallel to high-current conductors over long distances.

Terminate protective grounding according to the applicable installation standard and site electrical design. Do not use communication cable shields as protective earth conductors.

Verify the AC supply voltage and frequency before energizing the unit. The supplied specification identifies 120 to 240 VAC and 47 to 63 Hz.

Inspect Ethernet, serial, and parallel connections for correct connector engagement before system startup. Confirm peripheral wiring against the associated equipment documentation.

Protect the resistive touchscreen and aluminum bezel from mechanical impact during installation. Keep the display surface clean and free from conductive contamination.
