The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10G8 is a modern operator terminal and is a part of the Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation PanelView 1000 Series. It is fitted with a 10.1-inch grayscale touch display that gives the user a simple and interactive experience. The touchscreen module has 384 touch cells that enable clear and accessible information input. A non-volatile memory unit and RAM are also an integral part of the terminal package and can be used for storing applications. The terminal is equipped with 1008 kilobytes of memory which gives ample space for storing applications. The operator terminal takes an input of 85 to 264 Volts of alternating current. This makes the terminal ready for unpredictable drops and rises in the power supply. The terminal can be connected to the computer using the in-built RS-232 port. This port can also be used to connect to a printer and can print terminal logs. It is also equipped with a DH+ port which can be used to connect to a PLC-5, SLC 5/04, or ControlLogix controller on a DH+ link. The DH+ network can be used to provide feedback to the user regarding the operation of the system. The terminal is also fitted with red and green status indicators that help the user to quickly identify problems within the system.

The Allen-Bradley PanelView 1000 series of operator terminals includes the 2711-T10G8. It is a touch screen module equipped with 384 touch cells that enables simple data entry. The 2711-T10G8's physical dimensions measure 282 millimeters x 370 millimeters x 112 millimeters. This screen is a monochrome display with a display area of 211 millimeters by 158 millimeters. Additionally, this touchscreen operator terminal is equipped with a Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication port, as well as an RS-232 printer port. The 2711-T10G8 communicates through a Data Highway Plus (DH+) interface that supports networked topologies. DH+ is an aging protocol that is primarily supported by Allen-PLC5 Bradley's and SLC500 controllers. CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers, through DHRIO modules and partner adapters, also support this protocol. 

The 2711-T10G8 is customized using various operating systems and applications. This program includes embedded visual libraries, as well as tools for accurately representing the machine or process's control and measurement regions. Additionally, it has testing and debugging capabilities and allows for the setup of the HMI program without requiring access to the underlying hardware. The terminal is housed in a rugged NEMA Type 12/13 or 4X container that is suitable for indoor usage. This Allen Bradley operator terminal should be operated within an environment where the temperature ranges from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius, or the equivalent temperature range of 32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit. When storing this device, the temperature range of the surrounding area should be -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, or -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.
