2711P-B6C20D Allen-Bradley | 24VDC Ethernet Color HMI

Allen-Bradley 2711P-B6C20D PanelView Plus 600 HMI Operator Interface

Product Description

The 2711P-B6C20D (2711P-B6C20D) is a high-performance operator interface terminal from the Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 600 series. Designed for machine-level visualization, this HMI (Human-Machine Interface) provides a versatile dual-input system, combining a tactile keypad with a sensitive analog-resistive touchscreen. This ensures reliable operation in diverse industrial environments, even for operators wearing gloves.

Featuring a 5.7-inch color active-matrix TFT display, the 2711P-B6C20D (2711P-B6C20D) delivers clear, 18-bit color graphics at a QVGA resolution. It is powered by a 24V DC input and runs the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) runtime, making it a standard choice for controlling and monitoring complex automated systems. Although officially discontinued by the manufacturer, this module remains a critical legacy component for maintaining existing ControlLogix and CompactLogix infrastructure.
