2711P-T7C6D7 | Allen Bradley Panelview Plus 700 Operator Terminal

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C6D7 is a discontinued PanelView Plus 700 operator terminal featuring a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display and 256 MB of internal memory. Designed for industrial automation environments, this HMI operates on an 18–32 VDC power supply and incorporates modular communication capabilities for Data Highway Plus (DH+) and DH-485 networks. It enables operators to interface directly with connected controllers to monitor processes and manage data input with minimized ladder logic.

Display and Operator Interface

The unit is built around a 6.5-inch active-matrix color graphics display utilizing an analog resistive touchscreen for operator entries. The screen provides clear visualization for machine diagnostics, alarms, and runtime application screens created in RSView Machine Edition. Its field-replaceable backlight (replacement part number 2711P-RL7C2) ensures long-term operational maintenance capability.

Communication and Memory Architecture

Equipped with 256 MB of internal memory, the terminal accommodates moderate-sized machine control applications. Its communication architecture supports DH+ and DH-485 protocols, allowing both point-to-point communication with single controllers and multi-node networking across legacy Allen-Bradley data highway configurations. Compatible communication cables include the 1770-CD and 1761-CBL-ASO3.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What power supply range is required for the 2711P-T7C6D7 terminal?A: This unit operates on a DC power input ranging from 18 to 32 VDC. Ensure your power source matches these voltage requirements before applying power.

Q: What communication networks does this specific model support?A: The terminal supports Data Highway Plus (DH+) and DH-485 communication protocols for connecting to compatible Allen-Bradley controllers.

Interface Functionality & Configuration

Operators interact with plant machinery through the unit's 384-cell resistive touchscreen overlay, mapped across 24 columns and 16 rows. The terminal supports custom HMI application screens created to mirror process instrumentation and operational metrics. Communication is managed primarily through its Ethernet port, while the RS-232 interface handles printer commands for alarm and event tracking.
