2711-K6C5 | Allen Bradley PanelView 600 Standard Operator Terminal

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711-K6C5 functions as a high-performance Human-Machine Interface (HMI) within the PanelView 600 Standard family. This terminal provides centralized visualization and tactile control for industrial processes utilizing DH-485 networks. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, featuring a 5-inch color active-matrix TFT display and a rugged 10-key functional keypad. It enables operators to monitor real-time data and execute precise commands in harsh factory environments without the high cost of a total system migration.

Engineering Advantages

• Direct AC Power Integration: The unit accepts a wide universal input range from 85V to 264V AC. This eliminates the need for separate 24V DC power supplies within the control cabinet, simplifying wiring architecture and reducing component count.

• High-Contrast Color Visualization: The active-matrix TFT display provides superior color depth and clarity compared to passive-matrix or monochrome screens. This allows for more intuitive alarm color-coding and complex process graphic representation.

• Tactile Industrial Feedback: The 10-key functional keypad (F1–F10) provides positive mechanical feedback. This ensures reliable operation in environments where contaminants like oil, grease, or high-vibration make touch-only interfaces prone to failure or accidental triggers.

• Robust Environmental Hardening: With NEMA 4X and IP65 ratings, the front bezel resists dust, water ingress, and non-corrosive liquids. This allows for safe installation in wash-down areas or heavy-duty manufacturing floors.

• Non-Volatile Data Protection: The 240 KB non-volatile memory stores application objects, bitmaps, and text. This ensures the HMI retains all configuration data through power cycles without requiring continuous battery support for memory retention.

FAQs

• Can the 2711-K6C5 communicate with a PC for programming? Yes. The RS-232 port supports DH-485 communication. You must use a 2711-NC14 cable to establish a link between the terminal and your workstation running PanelBuilder32 software.

• What is the benefit of the functional keypad over a touchscreen? The keypad provides a longer operational life in heavy-duty applications. Since operators use physical buttons rather than the display surface, the screen remains clean and free from mechanical wear or pressure damage over time.

• Is this a refurbished or used unit since it is discontinued? Absolutely not. We guarantee this 2711-K6C5 is 100% Brand New and Original. It arrives in the original factory packaging with all security seals, UPC (662072660218), and documentation intact.

• How do I track the network status of this HMI? The terminal features dual status indicators on the rear. The green "COMM" LED indicates active network communication, while the red "Fault" LED signals internal hardware or configuration errors, allowing for instant visual diagnostics.
