The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B15C4A9, also cataloged as the 2711P-B15C4A9 Operator Terminal, operates as a dedicated hardware component for human-machine interface visualization and process control within industrial network platforms.

Model Matrix Data

The 2711P-B15C4A9 is a 15-inch color TFT display terminal belonging to the PanelView Plus 6 series. This unit incorporates both resistive touch screen and keypad input modalities, supported by a Windows CE 6.0 operating system with extended feature sets for complex application management.

Hardware Technical Specifications

Deterministic Network Connectivity

The module architecture supports EtherNet/IP deterministic networks, ensuring low-latency communication with programmable logic controllers. Firmware flash compatibility is provided to allow for version alignment with existing FactoryTalk View runtime environments. The internal processor logic handles high-density I/O visualization tasks with defined scan rates, and the hardware backplane bus communication velocity is rated to support standard industrial network traffic loads without packet loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How is the device firmware updated?

  Firmware is updated via Ethernet or removable storage; ensure the runtime version matches the installed FactoryTalk View software revision.

• Can the keypad and touch screen operate concurrently?

  Yes, the input hardware supports concurrent interrupts; however, application logic should be programmed to prioritize input signals appropriately.

• What causes display pixel degradation?

  Pixel degradation is typically a result of prolonged backlight operation at maximum luminance; adjust settings to match ambient environmental requirements.

• Is the unit hot-swappable?

  No. The unit must be de-energized before connecting communication cables or memory media to prevent logic module faults.

• What is the expected service life?

  Service life is subject to environmental conditions and backlight usage; standard industrial operation generally exceeds 50,000 hours of display life.
