Configured for human-machine interface visualization and real-time operator input in EtherNet/IP deterministic networks, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-T6C20D8 (2711P-T6 HMI Terminal) provides direct physical/electrical execution.

Hardware Model Designation

The catalog number 2711P-T6C20D8 defines the physical build configuration of the PanelView Plus 600 platform. The letter designation "T" indicates an analog resistive touchscreen input system, while "6" specifies a 5.7-inch screen size. Identifier "C20" specifies a color active-matrix display paired with an embedded EtherNet/IP communication port, an RS-232 serial port, and two USB host interfaces. Code "D" designates 18 to 32 VDC input power requirements, and "8" indicates standard memory with a Windows CE operating environment.

Physical & Electrical Parameters

EtherNet/IP Data Transmission & Firmware Integrity

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T6C20D8 transfers process tags directly across Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks to synchronized Logix controllers. High-speed backplane integration within the terminal's internal logic engine maintains continuous firmware flash compatibility, preventing control data packet loss and ensuring deterministic execution of operator screen inputs.

Panel Mounting & Wiring Protocols

• Enclosure Cutout Preparation

  • Cut the mounting panel opening precisely to 123 x 156 mm. Verify panel thickness is between 1.5 mm and 4.8 mm to ensure environmental seal compression.

• Mounting Lever Securing

  • Slide terminal into panel cutout. Insert four mounting levers into side slots and torque retaining screws evenly to 0.7 to 0.9 Nm to avoid distortion.

• DC Input Line Wiring

  • Strip 18 to 14 AWG copper conductors rated at 75 deg C to 7 mm. Connect wires to the DC supply terminal plug and torque clamp screws to 0.6 Nm.

• Ground Lug Earthing

  • Fasten a low-impedance copper ground strap (minimum 14 AWG) from the terminal grounding lug directly to the cabinet functional earth rail.

Operational FAQ Matrix

• What is the hot-swapping policy for the DC power connector?

  Do not disconnect or insert the DC power block while line power is active. Supply power must be isolated before servicing electrical terminal connectors.

• What maximum surge current occurs when powering on the 24 VDC circuit?

  The internal power conversion stage exhibits a transient peak inrush current reaching up to 5 A for a duration of less than 2 ms upon energization.

• How does interrupted firmware flashing affect system operation?

  A power failure during firmware transmission corrupts the operating system image, requiring firmware restoration using an external memory card interface.

• What IP enclosure protection rating does the front display maintain?

  The front bezel achieves NEMA Type 12, 13, 4X (indoor only) and IP66 sealing when properly mounted into a panel cutout with intact gaskets.

• What is the maximum distance limitation for the RS-232 serial connection?

  The serial line must not exceed 15 m of shielded cable length to prevent signal voltage degradation when communicating with peer controllers.

• Can touch alignment be performed without accessing the software menu?

  Touch calibration can be initiated by connecting a USB keyboard and triggering the hardware diagnostic routine during system startup boot sequences.

• What file system format is required for external USB flash drives?

  USB storage media used for runtime data logging and firmware transfers must be formatted with a standard FAT32 file system partition.

• Is the LCD backlight assembly field-replaceable on the 5.7-inch model?

  No, the CCFL or LED backlight light source is integrated within the sealed 5.7-inch display module and cannot be serviced independently in the field.
