The advanced operator panel display module by Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation 2711P-RDT15C is a perfect HMI unit. The human-machine interface offers the users controls and monitoring of industrial processes with its 15-inch diagonal touch-enabled screen. The flat-screen is 1024 x 768 pixels in resolution along with calibration to optimize the precision of the input. The installation requires panel cutout dimensions of 305 millimeters x 391 millimeters. A sufficient spacing around the unit is required for allowing air circulation. The spacing requirements are 50 millimeters at the top and 100 millimeters at the bottom side. This is expected to keep the temperature of the 2711P-RDT15C monitor below 55 degrees Celsius. The module can be interfaced through ethernet port or RS-232 port once it is sync'd with the module.
The logic unit is also configured for ActiveX controls, a VNC server, and remote access. The programs on the module can be downloaded to an external memory card and therefore recovered in case of error or loss. The display unit and the logic unit are two parts of the unit which are attached during installation into the casing. The unit also has PDF viewing capability built-in for reading essential documents such as manuals, trouble-shooting guides, etc. right on location. The graphics are vector-based and the output file format is CSV - comma separated values. The enclosures of the unit can be rated for NEMA, UL or IP per the requirements.

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RDT15C display module is utilized in order to replace the display module in PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus 6 1500 touch-controlled and colorful screen terminals that are already installed. This display module primarily consists of a 15-inch display screen with an effective display area of 304 × 228 mm and pixel resolution of 1024 x 768 in 18-bit color graphics and a pixel resolution of 1024 x 768 in 18-bit color graphics. Also, The analog resistive touchscreen is also housed in this display module, so that it may be used for more than just process visualization. With an actuation force of 10-110 g, this touchscreen interface can handle up to 1 million actuations. One more technical feature that is featured in this display module, among other features, is a 300 cd per m2 luminance. In order to keep the display module in good working order, the user must clean the surface with a soft cloth to remove impurities such as oil, grease, and dirt and to prevent any kind of viewing blockage. Furthermore, a window kit can also be utilized to shield the display module from unwanted and illegal access. Moreover, in the operator terminal setup mode, there are changeable settings that can impact the display module's operation. in order to fine-tune and maintain the accuracy of the touch interface, the touch calibration setup may be started by entering the touch parameters. The screen's brightness and contrast of this module may also be tweaked in order to optimize the viewing experience.
