Product Details
Description
The 2711P-T10C15A1 is a ruggedized operator interface designed for sophisticated visualization in industrial automation. Featuring a 10.4-inch high-resolution display, this terminal serves as a primary control node for machinery and process monitoring. Unlike basic HMI units, this specific configuration is equipped with built-in ControlNet communication, offering deterministic data exchange alongside standard Ethernet and Serial interfaces. It utilizes a modular design that allows for the independent maintenance of the logic module and the display assembly, ensuring long-term serviceability.
