The 2711-B6C8 is a discontinued operator terminal manufactured by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation as part of the PanelView 600 product line. This operator terminal allows the user to interface with their machine seamlessly. One of the main functions of the 2711-B6C8 operator terminal is to help the user in controlling the machines and oversee the installation of applications. This unit features a 5-inch color display. It also has a terminal that helps with communication purposes through the inbuilt DH+ and RS – 232 Printer communication ports and the 2711-NC14 communication cable. This unit comes with a human-machine interface which has the option of using keypad or touchscreen to input information and data. Allen Bradley 2711-B6C8 operator terminal unit is powered by an input voltage of 85 – 264 volts AC power and has a 240 kilobytes of internal memory for data storage. Additionally, it comes with an optional replacement backlight part number 2711-NL5. This operator terminal is stored at a temperature of -25 to 79 degrees Celsius and operates on a temperature of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it works at a maximum altitude of 2000 meters. Once you order the Allen Bradley 2711-B6C8 PanelView 600 operator terminal, it comes with an approximated weight of 6 lbs as well as measurements of 14 x 11 x 8 inches.

The Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 is a popular visualization component for industrial operations and processes. This general-purpose standard operator terminal can be used across all industries. It is ideally installed near the industrial machines or inside the plant-floor level. The Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 is mostly used to centralize controls of an industrial plant. Centralized monitoring of the processes helps with easy controlling and close monitoring. For the best user experience, it is advised that this module be installed near the HMI. Users can monitor their plant floor using the 5-inch colored screen. For ease of use, the Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 comes with a resolution of 320 x 234 pixels and a 115 x 86 millimeters (4.54 x 3.4 inches) display area. Users can input data using either the touch-sensitive screen or the keypad assembly. Both the methods are tested to 1 million actuation. Unlike other modules of such sort, the function keys (F1-F10) on the Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 can be programmed as the user requires. On the other hand, the touch bar allows for direct input and interaction with running objects on the plant floor. The Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 communicates with other connected devices through the highway plus (DH+) communication protocol. It uses a three-conductor wire. It is compatible with Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers (PLC) and programmable automation controllers (PAC). Compatible devices with this module include PLC5, SLC500, MicroLogix, CompactLogix and ControlLogix. Furthermore, it is also compatible with many third-party controllers including different protocol converters and gateways.
