Allen Bradley 2711P-T15C21D8S PanelView Plus 7 Series Terminal

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C21D8S is a PanelView Plus 7 operator terminal designed to enhance real-time operator interaction within various processes. This terminal features a 15-inch color Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) LCD screen with a 304 x 228 mm viewing area, offering a display resolution of 1024 x 768 XGA and 18-bit color graphics in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The analog resistive touchscreen interface supports up to 1 million presses and requires an actuation force of 100 grams, making it operable with a gloved finger or a plastic stylus.

For seamless communication, the 2711P-T15C21D8S is equipped with an embedded Ethernet interface that supports linear topology, allowing direct connection to CompactLogix or ControlLogix Ethernet ports or via an external Ethernet switch, such as the Allen-Bradley Stratix Ethernet switch. This terminal operates on a voltage supply input of 18-30VDC, with a nominal supply of 24VDC. It has a power consumption of 50W max (2.1A at 24VDC) and a heat dissipation of 30 Watts or 102 BTU.

Designed to withstand various environmental conditions, the terminal operates within a temperature range of 0-55°C (32-131°F) at altitudes up to 2000 meters. It can endure operating shock and vibration of 15g at 11 ms and 2g peak at 57 to 500 Hz. The device also includes two USB ports for removable storage, mouse, and keyboard connectivity, and a single Secure Digital (SD) card slot for memory expansion.

Additional features include support for third-party devices, VNC client-server, and ActiveX controls. The terminal has a battery-backed Real-Time Clock with an accuracy of +/-2 minutes per month and a battery life of at least 4 years at 25°C (77°F). The replaceable battery is a CR2032 lithium coin cell. The backlight, which is not replaceable, has a lifespan of 50,000 hours minimum at 40°C to half-brightness. The terminal’s approximate weight is 3.07 kg (6.75 lbs) with dimensions of 318 x 381 x 56.5 mm and cutout dimensions of 290 x 353 mm.

Overall, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C21D8S is a robust and efficient operator terminal designed to facilitate seamless and intuitive operator interaction in various industrial applications.
