The Allen-Bradley 2711E-T14C6 is a high-performance industrial human-machine interface (HMI) terminal from the legacy PanelView Enhanced (1400e) series. Designed for demanding industrial environments, this terminal provides robust visualization, real-time alarm monitoring, and control system interaction. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with various Allen-Bradley controller architectures, serving as a centralized operator station for complex plant-floor applications.

Features

• 14-inch color active matrix TFT display with 640 x 480 native resolution.
• Analog resistive touchscreen interface rated for 1 million actuations.
• Durable cast aluminum bezel with black powder coating for enhanced EMI protection and mechanical stability.
• Integrated communication ports for Data Highway Plus (DH+) and Remote I/O (RIO) networks.
• 2.25 MB of onboard nonvolatile flash memory for secure storage of configuration and graphical assets.
• Designed to withstand mechanical shocks up to 15 G.

Applications

This HMI terminal is suitable for continuous, heavy-duty industrial operations including automotive assembly lines, steel processing, paper mills, and bulk material handling systems where reliable, deterministic communication with PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix platforms is required.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the terminal is flush-mounted in a NEMA-rated industrial enclosure to maintain environmental protection.
• Verify that the power supply is within the 85-264 VAC range before connection.
• Maintain proper clearance around the unit to ensure adequate ventilation and cooling.
• Use shielded communication cables for DH+ and RIO connections to minimize signal interference.
• Power down the unit before performing any maintenance, including the replacement of the 6189-NL2 backlight module.
• Handle the unit with care to avoid damage to the resistive touchscreen overlay.

FAQ

Is this terminal still in production?

No, the 2711E-T14C6 is part of the legacy PanelView Enhanced series and is classified as discontinued/obsolete. We provide these units as refurbished or surplus spare parts.

Which controllers are compatible with this HMI?

This terminal is designed for direct register synchronization with Allen-Bradley PLC-5, SLC 500, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix controller families via its integrated DH+ and RIO ports.

How do I replace the backlight?

The display illumination is provided by a replaceable 6189-NL2 backlight tube module. Refer to the original installation manual for step-by-step disassembly instructions to access the backlight assembly.
