Allen-Bradley 2711P-K15C6A7 PanelView Plus 1500 Operator Terminal

The 2711P-K15C6A7 is a high-performance human-machine interface (HMI) terminal in the PanelView Plus 1500 series, designed for real-time visualization and control of industrial automation systems. Equipped with a 15-inch color display and a durable tactile keypad, this AC-powered unit integrates a Control Executive (CE) logic module with 256 MB of memory to handle complex process graphics and high-density system communications.

Visual Display and User Interface

The terminal features a 15-inch active-matrix color display with a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution, providing clear operational visibility and layout detail for supervisory applications. With a rated luminance of 300 nits, the screen maintains high readability in standard industrial lighting environments. User input is managed via a dedicated keypad interface, which is engineered for heavy operator interaction with an actuation rating of up to 1 million presses per key.

Processing Core and Expansion Capabilities

At the core of the 2711P-K15C6A7 is a CE logic module equipped with 256 MB of RAM, providing execution space for custom applications, alarm logs, and data trends. The assembly includes a PCI expansion slot for integrating specialized communication or module cards, supporting up to 5 W of maximum power draw for optional hardware additions.

Electrical and Thermal Performance

Designed for global power compatibility, the terminal operates on an AC input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The unit has a maximum power consumption rating of 160 VA and generates heat dissipation of up to 240 BTU/hr under full load, which should be factored into enclosure thermal management calculations.
