The Allen-Bradley 2711E-K14C15 is a robust, large-format human-machine interface (HMI) terminal belonging to the legacy PanelView 1400e series. Designed for high-demand industrial environments, this unit provides centralized monitoring and control capabilities for complex automation systems. It is engineered to operate on a high-range AC power supply, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as automotive manufacturing, water treatment, and large-scale material handling.

Features

• 14-inch full-color display for high-density process visualization and alarm management.
• Heavy-duty mechanical keypad bezel providing tactile feedback for reliable operation in demanding conditions.
• Integrated ControlNet communication port for deterministic, high-speed data exchange with PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix controllers.
• 256 KB of onboard nonvolatile flash memory for secure storage of configuration files and graphical assets.
• Replaceable 6189-NL2 backlight assembly for extended service life.

Applications

This HMI terminal is intended for integration into large-scale industrial control architectures. It is commonly deployed in process blending stations, assembly lines, and infrastructure control systems where reliable, multi-shift performance and deterministic network communication are required.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the control cabinet cutout is properly sized for the 1400e series flush-mount configuration.
• Verify that the AC power source is within the 180-264 VAC range before connection.
• Use shielded cabling for ControlNet connections to minimize EMI interference in high-noise factory environments.
• Power down the system before performing any maintenance, including backlight replacement or module inspection.
• Maintain adequate ventilation around the enclosure to prevent heat buildup, as the unit is designed for cabinet-mount heat dissipation.

FAQ

Is the 2711E-K14C15 still in active production?

No, this model is classified as discontinued/obsolete. It is typically sourced for maintenance and repair of existing legacy installations.

What type of communication does this terminal support?

This unit features an integrated ControlNet interface, which supports deterministic, token-passing communication for reliable data transfer across Allen-Bradley controller networks.

Can the backlight be replaced?

Yes, the display utilizes a replaceable 6189-NL2 backlight assembly, allowing for maintenance of visual clarity without replacing the entire terminal.
