Description

The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C8 is a PanelView 1000 Standard operator terminal designed for robust industrial HMI applications. This unit features a 10.1-inch active-matrix TFT color display with a 640 x 480 VGA resolution, providing a clear interface for monitoring process variables and machine status. It utilizes analog resistive touchscreen technology, allowing for precise interaction with runtime objects.

Features

• 10.1-inch full-color active-matrix TFT display
• Integrated Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication port for legacy PLC integration
• RS-232 printer port for alarm and event logging
• Supports PanelBuilder32 application development software
• 384-cell touch matrix (24 columns x 16 rows)
• 1008 KB non-volatile application memory

Technical Specifications

Applications

This terminal is widely utilized in legacy automation environments, including:

• Automotive manufacturing (robotics and stamping presses)
• Water and wastewater treatment (valve and tank level control)
• Pulp, paper, and printing (web tension and fault logging)
• Petrochemical refining (batch tracking and temperature monitoring)

Installation Guidelines

• Mount the terminal in a NEMA-rated enclosure to maintain IP54/IP65 ingress protection.
• Ensure the AC power supply is connected to the removable terminal block; use a small slotted screwdriver and torque screws to manufacturer specifications to prevent arcing.
• In Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations, strictly avoid connecting or disconnecting communication cables or memory cards while the circuit is live.
• Maintain adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation to ensure the backlight longevity.
• Verify that the DH+ network is properly terminated at both ends of the trunk line to ensure signal integrity.

FAQ
