The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T10C4A8 PanelView Plus 6 Terminal is a product of Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. This is a human-machine interface (HMI), and it features interactive graphics delay that makes machine control easy and seamless. This terminal offers the operator a flexible configuration via a separate logic module, display module, as well as communication modules. This terminal has a TFT display measuring a 10.4-inch display diagonally and has a resistive touchscreen as the main input. It also has a native resolution of 640 x 480 pixels with color graphics of 18-bit. Other specifications of the module include a non-volatile memory of 512 megabytes for data storage and a RAM of 512 megabytes. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T10C4A8 terminal has a shipping weight of about 8 pounds and approximate dimensions of 16 x 14 x 8 inches.
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T10C4A8 terminal operates on an input voltage range of 100 – 240 volts AC at a frequency of 50 – 60 hertz and power consumption of 160 volt-amps at maximum. It features an Ethernet port and RS-232 ports for communication purposes as well as an optional ControlNet module, DH+, and DH-485 ports. The 2711P-T10C4A8 terminal comes with two USB ports for connection of external devices like flash drives and keyboards.

As a PanelView Plus 6 terminal, the 2711P-T10C4A8 provides full support for IPv4 multicasting. IPv4 multicasting is defined as the communication between a single sender and multiple receivers on a network. Operators should take care to maintain the proper input voltage of 100-240 VAC at all times. Any voltage spikes or issues in the quality of power can cause damage to the unit. The RS-232 port on the 2711P-T10C4A8 is a multi-purpose serial port and can support a variety of connections. Operators can use direct or modem connections in order to establish DF1 full-duplex communication. The terminal also supports third-party point-to-point communication, as well as the ability to print and transfer applications. The 2711P-T10C4A8 can also monitor the status and information of various features. The PanelView hardware monitor gives operators the ability of the processes that are currently running on the terminal, as well as how much memory each process takes up. With the PanelView hardware monitor, operators can see all the processes currently running and the memory usage of each process. The hardware monitor also keeps a system event log that displays warnings, faults, and events that the terminal has recorded. The log provides the date and time of when an event occurred and a small block of text that describes the event. The log can keep a maximum of 4,000 records before reaching its memory capacity of 1 MB. If the log exceeds the 1 MB limit, the oldest 512 KB of information is deleted. In the monitors tab of the hardware monitor, operators can see the continuous voltage, temperature, and load information for the terminal. 

The power consumption of the 2711P-T10C4A8, at an input voltage of one hundred to two hundred and forty (100 to 240) volts AC (alternating current) at a frequency of fifty to sixty (50 to 60) hertz, is one hundred and sixty (160) VA maximum. The display size of this unit measures 10.4 inches and has color displaying capabilities. The available memory within the 2711P-T10C4A8 is as follows: 512 (five hundred and twelve) MB, or megabytes, of random access memory (RAM) and 512 (five hundred and twelve) MB of non-volatile flash memory. Within the non-volatile flash memory is approximately 79 (seventy-nine) MB of free user memory. This device also comes equipped with two (2) embedded communication ports. These communication ports consist of one (1) RS-232 port, as well as one (1) Ethernet port. 

For the 2711P-T10C4A8, the terminal dimensions differ slightly when measuring depth. The height of the module is 248 (two hundred and forty-eight) millimeters (9.77 inches) and the width measures 329 (three hundred and twenty-nine) mm (12.97 inches). When measuring from the display to the logic module, the depth of the 2711P-T10C4A8 is 55 (fifty-five) mm, or 2.18 inches. The depth of the 2711P-T10C4A8 when measuring from the display to the communications module, however, is 83 (eighty-three) mm, or 3.27 inches. It is important to note that when mounting the 2711P-T10C4A8, there must be enough clearance around the terminal and that the supporting panels have a mounting thickness of 1.5 to 4.8 millimeters, or 0.060 inches to 0.188 inches. The temperature surrounding the 2711P-T10C4A8 must stay within the range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius.
