Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 PanelView 600 Operator Interface

Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C8 PanelView 600 Color Operator Interface is a 6-inch color HMI terminal that provides operator display and input for Rockwell Automation PLC systems. It combines a color touchscreen and keypad input (keypad or touch) on a single 6-inch display with a 320 x 234 pixel resolution to show dynamic screens, alarms, trends, and messages, and it supports 10 function keys (F1–F10) for quick operator actions. The unit communicates with PLCs via DH+ and includes an RS-232 printer port for data printouts; it is powered from 85–264 V AC and draws up to about 60 VA. Memory configuration includes 190 KB of runtime memory and 240 KB of nonvolatile memory for application objects, text, and bitmaps, with programming and deployment performed using PanelBuilder32. A real-time clock with battery-backed timestamps supports time-stamped data logging, and the backlight is rated for an expected life of about 50,000 hours at 25 °C. The 2711-B6C8 is part of the PanelView 600 family and is intended for on-machine HMI tasks such as operator data entry, status display, and interaction with Allen-Bradley controllers in manufacturing environments.
