2711E-K14C6 | Allen Bradley | PanelView 1400E Operator Interface Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711E-K14C6 serves as a high-capacity visualization hub for large-scale industrial networks. As part of the PanelView 1400E series, this terminal provides a bridge between complex PLC logic and plant-floor operators. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Original, offering a critical lifecycle extension for facilities running legacy DH+ (Data Highway Plus) and Remote I/O (RIO) architectures.

Technical Specifications

The 2711E-K14C6 utilizes heavy-duty components to maintain high-speed data refreshes and clear visual feedback:

Engineering Advantages

• Native DH+ and Remote I/O Integration: This terminal features built-in ports for Data Highway Plus and Remote I/O. It eliminates the need for expensive external protocol converters or gateway modules when connecting to legacy PLC-5 or SLC 500 systems.

• Tactile Command Security: The rugged physical keypad prevents accidental input common with touchscreens in vibration-heavy environments. High-travel keys provide clear feedback to operators wearing industrial gloves, ensuring precise control over machine parameters.

• NEMA 4X Washdown Protection: The front bezel meets NEMA 4X standards for indoor environments. It resists corrosion and prevents liquid ingress during standard facility cleaning procedures, protecting the internal CRT electronics.

• Stud-Mount Stability: The heavy-duty stud mount design secures the 25 lb chassis against high-vibration machinery. This mounting method ensures the unit remains flush against the enclosure, maintaining the integrity of the environmental seal over years of operation.

FAQs

• Is this a refurbished or repaired unit?

  No. We guarantee this 2711E-K14C6 is 100% Brand New. It arrives in original factory packaging and has never been installed or commissioned in a field environment.

• How does this model handle communication with Allen Bradley PLC-5?

  The unit utilizes its onboard DH+ and Remote I/O ports to scan the PLC rack directly. You configure the node address or rack number through the terminal's setup menu to establish a high-speed data link without additional hardware.

• Can I install this terminal in an outdoor environment?

  While the unit carries a NEMA 4X rating, the manufacturer specifies "Indoor Use Only." Direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations can damage the CRT display and compromise the keypad membrane. Always install within a climate-controlled or sheltered indoor enclosure.

• What is the primary benefit of the 14-inch CRT over smaller models?

  The 14-inch display provides significantly more screen real estate for complex P&ID diagrams. It allows engineers to group more tags and alarms on a single page, reducing the time operators spend navigating between screens during critical events.
