The Allen-Bradley 2711-K10G8 electronic operator panel is a sophisticated terminal that can be used to perform a variety of operations and functions. The device is equipped with a robust keypad that enables the user to trigger functions of the machine components in a direct and efficient manner. A grayscale display screen with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels ensures that the user is directly involved in the operation of the control system. The display screen ensures the completion of an efficient feedback mechanism and improves the degree to which the industrial control system can operate in a sustained and effective manner. The panel can be used to automation systems to enable the user to exercise complete control over the machine’s applications. The device is highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of industrial environments to improve productivity and sustainability. The 2711-K10G8 operator panel is an effective communication device and can be configured to establish communication channels with remote devices over a DH+ network. The network can be used to relay messages and instructions to the components of the system. Data packets containing information relating to feedback and system performance can also be transmitted and received over the network. Custom applications can be created by the user during terminal setup to specifically address unique system requirements and ensure a robust and high-performance industrial system. The configuration mode menu can be used to create these applications. A standard RS-232 serial port is provided to connect the device to remote printers and scanners.

The Allen-Bradley manufactured 2711-K10G8 is a PanelView 1000 operator input interface terminal. This terminal has a keyboard with a one million (1,000,000) press actuation life. It also includes an additional connection port for interacting with the alarm and events printer. The printer interface supports transfer speeds of 1200, 2400, 9600, and 19200 Kbps. The 2711-K10G8 requires an external power source with a voltage rating of 84 to 265 volts AC at a frequency range of 47 to 63 hertz. The 2711-K10G8 includes 1008 KB of non-volatile memory and 310 KB of RAM for storing data, files, and programs. This PanelView 1000 operator terminal has a 10-inch screen that is capable of display image and texts in black and white, also known as monochrome. The screen of this terminal has a display size measuring 211 millimeters x 158 millimeters, or 8.3 inches x 6.2 inches. This terminal has a screen resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. This PanelView terminal is available in black or white.

One of the 2711-K10G8's strong points is its NEMA class 12/13 or 4X enclosures suitable for indoor operation. Furthermore, the terminal accepts a broad variety of power inputs between 85 volts alternating current (AC) and 264 volts alternating current (AC). The 2711-K10G8 has an operating temperature that should range from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius, or 32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit. However, when storing this terminal, the temperature of the area surrounding it should range from -25 to +70 degrees Celsius, or -13 to +158 degrees Fahrenheit.
