Allen-Bradley 2711-KC1MC PanelView 1200 Operator Panel

The Allen-Bradley 2711-KC1MC PanelView 1200 Operator Panel is a 12-inch color CRT keypad-terminal designed to serve as the operator interface for Rockwell Automation PLC systems. It pairs a full-color 12" display with a physical keypad for local data entry and navigation, enabling operators to monitor trends, view process data, and input setpoints without a touchscreen. The unit supports Remote I/O (RIO) communication and includes an RS-232 programming/printer port for configuration, diagnostics, and data transfer, making it suitable for installation in industrial environments where legacy PLCs are in use. Powered from a wide 90–264 V AC supply, it accommodates a variety of electrical installations and machine layouts. As part of the PanelView 1200 family, the KC1MC variant emphasizes color visualization to clearly present status indicators, alarms, and prompts on the 12" display, while the built‑in keypad facilitates numeric entry and command selection directly at the operator panel. Typical applications include on‑line machine control, line supervision, and real-time process monitoring in manufacturing settings where a durable, standalone HMI is needed to interface with compatible Rockwell Automation PLC configurations. This model is appropriate for legacy systems that require a rugged, non-touch keypad interface with reliable color display, and it slots into control architectures that rely on PanelView 1200’s 12-inch keypad form factor for local operator interaction.
