Allen-Bradley 2711-T9C20 PanelView 900 Color Terminal

Allen-Bradley 2711-T9C20 is a legacy PanelView 900 color operator interface terminal designed to facilitate human-machine interaction in industrial control applications. It features a 9-inch active-matrix color display with an integrated analog resistive touch screen for intuitive graphical monitoring and control. Powered by a 100-240V AC input, this unit incorporates built-in Ethernet communication and an RS-232 printer port configuration to support network connectivity and alarm logging tasks.

Display and Operator Input

The terminal is equipped with an 8.4-inch diagonal active-matrix TFT color display providing a VGA resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Operator input is handled entirely via an analog touch screen containing 384 touch cells, allowing users to configure dynamic graphic objects, push buttons, and numerical entry fields directly layout. The display includes a field-replaceable backlight designed to maximize operational longevity under standard industrial conditions.

Communication and Power Configuration

Communication capabilities on this model include an Ethernet port for data transfer and controller integration, alongside an RS-232 printer port dedicated to printing active alarm lists and triggered system messages. The unit operates on an internal power supply rated for 100-240V AC, matching standard facility voltages. Configuration and application development for this standard PanelView terminal are executed using legacy Rockwell Automation software tools.
