Allen-Bradley 6186M-19PT VersaView 6186M Monitor

Allen-Bradley 6186M-19PT VersaView 6186M Monitor

Configured for color graphical display and touchscreen input with VersaView non-display computers, the Allen-Bradley 6186M-19PT (6186M display monitor) provides direct video and operator input through VGA or DVI-I interfaces. The unit uses a 19 in. active-matrix TFT display with resistive touchscreen input and supports AC or DC power sources.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control Display and Interface Characteristics

The 6186M-19PT provides a 1280 x 1024 graphical display through its 19 in. TFT panel. The resistive touchscreen supplies operator input through physical screen contact.

The monitor accepts either 100-240 VAC at 47-63 Hz or 9-36 VDC. Power consumption reaches 57 W during operation according to the supplied specifications.

VGA and DVI-I provide video connection options, while RS232 and two USB ports provide peripheral interface capability. Mounting configurations include panel, bench, tabletop, and DIN rail installation.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the monitor on a mechanically rigid mounting surface using the specified mounting configuration. Maintain adequate clearance around connectors and ventilation openings where applicable.

Route AC or DC power wiring separately from high-current switching conductors, motor cables, and high-noise signal wiring. Use correctly rated conductors and protective devices for the selected supply voltage.

For panel installations, verify enclosure cutout dimensions against the manufacturer's mechanical documentation before drilling or fastening. Do not apply mechanical stress to the display bezel or touchscreen surface during installation.

Connect VGA or DVI-I signal cables according to the system interface requirements. Keep display and communication cables away from high-energy switching paths where practical.

For RS232 and USB connections, secure cables against vibration and prevent excessive connector loading. Where shielded cables are used, terminate shields according to the applicable control-system grounding practice.

Confirm the selected power source falls within the specified AC or DC input range before energizing the monitor. Verify polarity for DC wiring and inspect all terminals for secure mechanical connection.
