Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C16L1 functions as a high-performance Human-Machine Interface (HMI) within the PanelView 600 series. This unit provides operators with real-time visualization and precise control over automated machinery through a vibrant 5-inch color display and a rugged stainless-steel domed keypad. It utilizes RS-232 (DF1) communication to interface directly with PLC systems, delivering critical diagnostic data and process adjustments to the factory floor. We supply this module in 100% Brand New condition, offering a reliable solution for maintaining or upgrading legacy control architectures.

Engineering Advantages

The 2711-K6C16L1 excels in demanding industrial environments by addressing specific operational challenges:

Tactile Precision in Harsh Conditions: The physical keypad provides definitive feedback to operators wearing heavy gloves. Unlike touchscreens that may fail in oily or dusty environments, these stainless-steel buttons ensure consistent command execution.

Streamlined Communications: The dual RS-232 port configuration allows simultaneous PLC communication and localized printing or data downloading. This eliminates the need to disconnect the controller during data retrieval tasks.

Compact Industrial Footprint: Engineers can integrate this HMI into shallow enclosures or crowded control panels where space remains at a premium. Its 1.62 kg lightweight design reduces the structural load on cabinet doors.

Extreme Durability: The unit features high-impact resistance and handles voltage fluctuations between 18V and 32V DC without performance degradation, protecting the system against common power surges in heavy industrial zones.

FAQs

Does this unit come in its original packaging?

Yes. We provide the 2711-K6C16L1 in 100% Brand New original factory condition. This ensures that the internal memory components and the 2711-NL3 backlight have zero previous runtime hours.

Which communication cable should I use for this model?

This model requires the 2711-NC14 communication cable for standard RS-232 (DF1) connections. Ensure you secure the cable to the port to maintain signal integrity in high-vibration areas.

Can the 2711-K6C16L1 replace older Series A or B units?

Yes. This model supports Series A through L. It maintains backward compatibility with legacy PanelView 600 applications, allowing for a direct hardware swap without requiring significant software conversion.

What should I check if the screen appears dim?

First, verify the input voltage is within the 18-32V DC range. If power is stable, the integrated 2711-NL3 backlight assembly likely requires inspection. We recommend using original Allen-Bradley replacement parts to maintain display clarity.
