Allen-Bradley 2711-T10G8L1 PanelView Standard Operator Terminal

The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10G8L1 is an operator interface terminal from the PanelView Standard 1000 series designed for plant-floor visualization and machine control. It combines a 10-inch active matrix grayscale screen with an analog resistive touchscreen interface, allowing operators to monitor system statuses, modify parameters, and manage alarms directly from connected automation controllers.

Display and Touchscreen Interface

The terminal features a 10.1-inch active matrix grayscale display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Operator inputs are executed via a touch-sensitive screen overlay, enabling straightforward menu navigation, command entry, and process adjustments without requiring external keys or software input devices.

Communication Ports and Power Supply

System integration is handled through an onboard Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication port, providing high-speed networking with Allen-Bradley controllers on a DH+ link. An auxiliary RS-232 serial port is dedicated to printer connectivity for hardcopy logging of real-time alarms and process reports. Operating on a 24 VDC power rating (18–32 VDC range), this model is designed for low-voltage industrial panel enclosures.
