The Allen-Bradley 2711E-T10C6 is a legacy PanelView 1000e series operator terminal designed for robust industrial human-machine interface applications. This unit features a 10.4-inch active matrix TFT color display, providing a clear 640 x 480 resolution for monitoring complex process data, alarm states, and system trends. Engineered for high-reliability environments, the terminal is housed in a durable enclosure with a chemically strengthened glass window and a protective hard-coated polyester overlay, ensuring longevity in demanding manufacturing sectors.

Features

• 10.4-inch color active matrix TFT display with 640 x 480 native resolution.
• Analog resistive touch membrane with a 1 million press durability rating.
• Integrated communication suite including DH+, Remote I/O (RIO), and RS-232 serial interfaces.
• 2.25 MB of onboard nonvolatile flash memory for application runtime and asset storage.
• Field-replaceable backlight module (6189-NL2) to maintain display visibility.
• Designed for flush-mount installation in NEMA-rated industrial enclosures.

Applications

This HMI terminal is intended for integration with Allen-Bradley PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix controller platforms. It is widely utilized in heavy industrial environments such as chemical processing, steel manufacturing, automotive assembly, and paper production facilities where deterministic communication and reliable operator control are required.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the enclosure cutout meets the specified dimensions for a secure flush-mount fit.
• Verify that the power source is within the 180-264 VAC range before applying power.
• Maintain proper grounding practices to protect against EMI and line surges.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating during continuous operation.
• Power down the system before performing any maintenance, such as replacing the 6189-NL2 backlight module.
• Handle the touchscreen surface with care; avoid using sharp objects that could damage the polyester overlay.
