Allen-Bradley 2711-TA4 PanelView 1200 Terminal

Configured for high-speed operator interaction in industrial automation control networks, the Allen-Bradley 2711-TA4, also cataloged as the 2711-TA4 Operator Terminal, provides direct physical execution of machine commands via an integrated amber CRT touchscreen interface.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Network Backplane and Firmware Flashing

The terminal utilizes high-velocity backplane communication components to process remote I/O data streams directly from connected programmable controllers without host CPU bottlenecks. Flash firmware compatibility ensures stable execution across system revisions, maintaining deterministic register updates and rapid coordinate mapping over the amber CRT touchscreen interface during continuous industrial operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What mounting mechanism is utilized to secure the 2711-TA4 terminal into an industrial enclosure?

A: The unit features a stud-mount design, utilizing integrated threaded studs around the bezel flange to secure the terminal tightly against panel cutouts.

Q: What input power voltage range is supported by the internal power supply module?

A: The terminal features an auto-switching power supply supporting an input voltage range of 90 to 264 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify panel cutout dimensions for the PanelView 1200 stud-mount housing before positioning the unit into a NEMA Type 12 rated enclosure.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm around the rear chassis and cooling vents to ensure proper CRT thermal dissipation and convection airflow.
• Connect a low-impedance copper grounding strap from the chassis ground stud directly to the central panel earth ground bar.
• Route communication cables and AC power wiring through separate wireways away from high-voltage power lines and motor drives.
