The Allen-Bradley PanelView 2711P-T15C4A9 is a part of the PanelView Plus 6 Standard Terminal series and can be used for a wide array of applications. The primary function of the device is to create a robust human-machine interface that allows the user to control and monitor the status of applications and components within the industrial automation system. This panel is equipped with a state-of-the-art touch screen with an actuation rating of one million presses. The touch screen is the primary input mechanism of the device and can be used to trigger functions of remote I/O sub-systems such as printers and scanners.

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4A9 operator panel is equipped with USB ports that can be used to connect the terminal to keyboards, printers, and other devices. These ports can also be used to ensure secure and efficient transfer of data from the operator panel to other components of the automation system. The panel has two types of status indicators to meet the troubleshooting requirements of the user. The COMM status indicator indicates the status of communication lines between the panel and other devices over the network, and the FAULT status indicator allows the user to identify hardware faults within the operator terminal.

2711P-T15C4A9 is an Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 6 - 1500 operator terminal. This operator terminal can be used to do various applications and functions. Some of these functions include allowing the user to monitor and control various elements of an industrial automation system, including the application and component statuses within the system. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4A9 comes equipped with a touchscreen interface that has an actuation rating of one million presses. Used to activate functions of remote I/O sub-systems, the touchscreen on this device is the primary source of inputs. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4A9 operator terminal has many impressive aspects about it. This operator terminal has a 15 inch, color-active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT) display. Embedded in the panel are two (2) USB ports. These ports can connect the panel to different devices, such as printers and keyboards,. These ports also allow for transferring data between the panel to other parts of the connected automation system. Should the user need to troubleshoot, this panel comes equipped with status indicators. These indicators are a COMM status indicator and a FAULT status indicator. This operator terminal is powered using an external power supply of 85-264V AC. Additionally, this panel has embedded communication ports, such as one (1) RS-232 port and one (1) Ethernet port. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4A9 has 512 MB RAM and 512 MB Nonvolatile, with 79 MB free user memory included.

The 2711P-T15C4A9 has a high-performance logic module that makes up a core component of the terminal. The eight-wire resistive touch gives the terminal’s display extreme accuracy. When a point on the touch screen is pressed, the layers connect and change electrical current, which in turn is registered and processed. When mounting the terminal in the panel, the cutout dimensions are 305 x 391 mm (12.0 x 15.4), measured in height by width. The dimensions of the panel, in (H x W x D), are 330 x 416 x 65 mm (12.97 x 16.37 x 2.55 in). The 2711P-T15C4A9 has a display to logic module depth of 65 mm (2.55 in) and a display to communication module depth of 93 mm (3.65 in). During installation in a panel, it is crucial that the sealing gasket is properly positioned, as the gasket forms a compression type seal. The terminal uses mounting clips to help with the installation process. The clip screws should be tightened to a torque of 0.90-1.1 Nm (8-10 in-lb) in order for a proper seal to be provided and to prevent potential damage to the terminal.
