Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C20 PanelView 600 HMI Keypad/Touch

Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C20 PanelView Standard 600 HMI Color Display

Product Description

The 2711-B6C20 (2711-B6C20) is a high-performance operator interface terminal from the Allen-Bradley PanelView Standard 600 series. Designed for machine-level visualization, this terminal provides a 5.7-inch active-matrix TFT color display with a resolution of 320 x 234 pixels. The 2711-B6C20 (2711-B6C20) is a "Dual Input" model, meaning it offers operators the tactical precision of a stainless-steel membrane keypad alongside the intuitive ease of an analog resistive touchscreen.

This terminal is equipped with an integrated EtherNet/IP port, facilitating high-speed communication with PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix controllers over standard industrial Ethernet networks. Additionally, an RS-232 printer port is provided for data logging and hardcopy report generation. As a legacy component, the 2711-B6C20 (2711-B6C20) is a critical replacement part for maintaining existing automation lines without the immediate need for costly software migrations or panel cut-out modifications.
