Product Detailed Description

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T6M20A8 is a PanelView Plus 6 600 Operator Terminal from Rockwell Automation’s HMI (Human-Machine Interface) product line. It is a compact, industrial-grade touchscreen operator interface designed for monitoring and controlling machinery in manufacturing and automation environments. This model features a 5.7-inch grayscale (monochrome) display and runs on the Windows CE 6.0 operating system, providing a reliable platform for simple visualization applications. The terminal supports touch input for user interaction and includes embedded communication ports for seamless integration with PLCs, controllers, and networks. It is powered by an external AC supply and is optimized for small-scale applications where cost-effective, basic HMI functionality is required. Note that this product has been discontinued by the manufacturer as of September 30, 2021, and users are encouraged to migrate to newer PanelView Plus 7 or successor models for ongoing support.

Product Parameters

The following table summarizes the key technical specifications of the 2711P-T6M20A8:

Product Advantages

• Compact and Cost-Effective Design: Ideal for space-constrained environments and budget-sensitive projects, offering essential HMI features without the complexity or expense of larger color displays.
• Reliable Touch Interface: The analog resistive touchscreen provides durable, glove-compatible input, ensuring usability in industrial settings with up to 1 million actuations for long-term reliability.
• Seamless Connectivity: Built-in Ethernet and RS-232 ports enable easy integration with Allen-Bradley PLCs (e.g., CompactLogix, ControlLogix) and other devices, supporting protocols like EtherNet/IP and DF1 for efficient data exchange.
• Robust Performance: Powered by Windows CE 6.0 with ample memory (256 MB RAM, 512 MB flash), it handles basic applications smoothly, including data logging, alarms, and trending, while maintaining low power consumption.
• Industrial Durability: Designed for harsh environments with wide temperature tolerance and vibration resistance, reducing downtime and maintenance needs compared to consumer-grade interfaces.

Precautions and Notes

• Discontinuation Status: This model is no longer manufactured or supported for new sales after September 30, 2021. Existing units may still receive limited software updates via FactoryTalk View, but consider upgrading to PanelView Plus 7 for enhanced security and features.
• Power Supply Handling: Use only the specified 100-240V AC input with proper grounding to avoid electrical hazards. Do not exceed the voltage range to prevent damage to internal components.
• Environmental Limits: Operate within 0-55°C and avoid direct sunlight, corrosive gases, or excessive vibration. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
• Touchscreen Maintenance: Clean the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol; avoid abrasive materials. The touchscreen is not stylus-optimized—use finger or gloved input only.
• Software Compatibility: Applications must be developed using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (version 6.0 or compatible). Backup configurations regularly, as firmware updates are limited post-discontinuation.
• Safety: Install in a NEMA-rated enclosure for hazardous locations. Follow Rockwell Automation’s installation guidelines to comply with UL and CE standards.
• Warranty and Support: Standard 1-2 year warranty from distributors; contact Rockwell Automation for migration assistance.

Product Applications

The 2711P-T6M20A8 is suited for basic to mid-level industrial automation tasks requiring straightforward operator interaction. Common applications include:

• Machine Control Panels: Monitoring and controlling standalone machines like conveyors, pumps, or packaging equipment in manufacturing lines.
• Process Visualization: Displaying real-time status, alarms, and trends in water treatment, food processing, or HVAC systems.
• OEM Integration: Embedded in custom machinery for simple HMI needs, such as operator prompts and fault diagnostics in assembly lines.
• Small-Scale SCADA: Serving as a local interface for supervisory control in warehouses, material handling, or light assembly operations.
• Legacy System Upgrades: Retrofitting older PLC-based systems where full-color HMIs are unnecessary, providing Ethernet connectivity for modern networking without major overhauls.
