Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C2 PanelView 600 Operator Interface Panel

Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C2 PanelView 600 Operator Interface Panel is a 6-inch color PanelView 600 terminal that combines a keypad and touch input for local machine operation and operator interaction. It is a DC-powered variant designed for 18–32 V DC input (24 V DC nominal) with a maximum power draw of 34 W, making it suitable for compact control panels and areas with limited AC supply. The unit runs Rockwell’s PanelBuilder32 configuration software and provides about 190 KB of application runtime memory plus 240 KB of nonvolatile memory for storing objects, text, and bitmaps, enabling reliable on-device commissioning and runtime performance. For communications, the 2711-B6C2 supports DH-485 serial connectivity (RS-232) and includes a printer-port style RS-232 interface, aligning with typical Rockwell Automation DH-485 networks used to connect PLCs and HMIs. As part of the PanelView 600 Color family, this model is designed to interface with Allen-Bradley controllers to deliver on-machine operator prompts, data entry, alarms, and real-time status displays. Typical applications include machine control panels, line-side monitoring, and process visualization in manufacturing environments where a compact, color touchscreen and keypad interface is advantageous for operator interaction and control workflows.
