Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D8

The 2711P-B6C20D8 belongs to the PanelView Plus 6 operating interface with dual inputs. This operation port includes connection interfaces, including RS232, Ethernet, and USB ports. This operative port can connect with both current and old automation devices, including Allen-PLC5 Bradley's and SLC 500 vintage controllers, with CompactLogix option, MicroLogix, and ControlLogix modern control methods. Furthermore, this terminal module allows communication with third-party devices, protocol gateways, and also another mode.

The integrated Ethernet port enables connection speeds of up to 10/100 Mbps with auto-negotiation and may be utilized in liners or simplex networks. For redundant Ethernet I/P networks, this operation terminal is appropriate with stratix or Allen-Bradley ETAP switching. The RS232 port is generally used for point-to-point connections and is ideal for internal communication and data sharing. It has customizable baud rates and can only traverse short distances. The USB ports enable the installation of USB devices, such as a keyboard, for external input. Additionally, a detachable memory stick for external drives of the storage unit may be inserted.

This terminal integrates 512-Megabytes of the non-volatile storage unit and 512-Megabytes of random-access memory (RAM), that can be increased with Protected Digital features including the USB drives or 1784-SDx, as previously indicated. It has a touchscreen and a keypad interface that operate concurrently and may be used in conjunction with one another during operation. The display panel is 5.7 inches in size and has a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels and 18-bit color graphics.

The 5.7-inch active-matrix display panel of this particular module port accepts inputs through an analog touchpad and a keypad made of stainless steel with both options. The resolution is 320 × 240 pixels and the visuals are 18-bit color. It is equipped with a RAM size of 512 megabytes of nonvolatile memory for user storage. Its size measures 14 x 11 x 8 inches and is 6 pounds weighted. The 2711P-B6C20D8 operates between 18 and 30V DC and consumes up to 15 Watts of electricity. It communicates through Ethernet and RS-232 serial interfaces and enables the addition of DH-485, DH+, and ControlNet modules. Additionally, the 2711P-B6C20D8 has two USB ports for attaching peripherals like keys and flash drives. Additionally, SD cards are supported for data backup, and a battery-powered real-time clock is included for time-stamping data. The 2711P-B6C20D8 is faster, has more system memory, a faster transition rate, more storage capacity, and a brighter brightness than earlier PanelView terminals.
