The 2711P-T7C4D8 is a PanelView 6 Plus Human Machine Interface (HMI) terminal made by Allen-Bradley. This module is an operator interface that allows users to view, configure, and display application status information for the connected device or devices. This terminal has modular components that allow for highly flexible installation, configuration, and as-needed upgrades. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4D8 PanelView 6 Plus Human Machine Interface terminal has a standard Ethernet port which can connect to a controller on a properly configured Ethernet/IP network through both the proprietary network and standard open Ethernet connections. This port can be used for data and application transfers as well as printing and inter-device network communications.

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4D8 PanelView 6 Plus Human Machine Interface terminal has its own unique IP address when connected to a correctly configured network. If your application necessitates additional network communication ports, then you can purchase an additional Ethernet communication module (Part Number 2711P-RN20). The port on this module has an RJ45, 10/100Base-T connector for network communication and it fully supports both MDI and MDI-X connections. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4D8 PanelView 6 Plus Human Machine Interface terminal has had a significant increase in processor speed over earlier models, from 350 MHz to 1 GHz. Screen transitions are now significantly faster. The system memory has also increased by a factor of four, from 64 Megabytes of Random Access Memory to 256 Megabytes. Non-volatile flash storage space has gone up even more from 64 Megabytes to 512 Megabytes.

The 2711P-T7C4D8 is an Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 6 700 terminal. This terminal features a 6.5-inch color screen with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and 18-bit color graphics. This unit has been enhanced from previous models by increasing the speed of the processor, resulting in a fast and reliable operator interface with touch screen input. The unit consists of three main parts: the display module, input touch module, and logic module. They are organized to be upgradable and for migration or interchanging with another unit. The terminal comes with an Ethernet port, an RS-232 port, and two USB ports. Usually, the RS-232 port is used to connect a PC or handheld terminal for programming purposes and to describe tags in the terminal memory to be later used by the PLC program. The terminal has an internal memory of 256 MB RAM and 512 MB nonvolatile (ROM), and the unit has 512 MB of flash memory used for the storage of files. The terminal should have a 0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit) operating temperature and a -25 to 70 degrees Celsius (-13 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit). non-operating temperature.  The terminal should also meet all other environmental parameters.

Part number 2711P-T7C4D8 is a PanelView Plus 6 - 700 Series operator terminal created by Allen-Bradley. Installed within this terminal is a 6.5 inch color touchscreen that has a 640 x 480 pixel resolution. This screen also has eighteen (18) bit color graphics. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C4D8 has three (3) main parts as part of its design. These parts include the display, input touch, and logic modules. These parts are organized and placed in a way that allows for upgrading, migration and/or interchanging with other units. Twenty-four (24) volts direct current (DC) are needed for this terminal to be powered correctly.

There are numerous ways and methods that allow for this Allen-Bradley operator terminal to communicate with other devices. So that this terminal can communicate, it is equipped with one embedded Ethernet port, one embedded RS-232 port, and two embedded USB ports. The primary use of the RS-232 port is to connect the terminal to a personal computer (PC), or a handheld terminal, for the purposes of programming, as well as other things. Using these communication ports stated prior, this Allen-Bradley terminal can be connected to numerous external devices and machines, such as keyboards, printers, etc. This terminal, when it is being operated, should remain within an area where the temperature remains between zero and fifty-five (0 and 55) degrees Celsius, or the equivalent of thirty-two and one hundred and thirty-one (32 and 131) degrees Fahrenheit. When this terminal is not being operated, however, the temperature of its immediate area should remain between negative twenty-five and positive seventy (-25 and +70) degrees Celsius, or negative thirteen and positive one hundred and fifty-eight (-13 and +158) degrees Fahrenheit when converted.
