Product Details
Product Overview
The Allen Bradley 2711-K6C10 serves as a rugged, tactile operator interface within the PanelView™ Standard 600 family. This terminal provides centralized machine control through a 5.7-inch active-matrix color display and a heavy-duty stainless-steel domed keypad. It facilitates high-speed data exchange via DeviceNet™ and includes a dedicated RS-232 port for printer communication or firmware transfers. While the manufacturer has officially discontinued the series, we supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, allowing you to maintain legacy systems without the risk of utilizing refurbished or third-party hardware.

Engineering Advantages
-
Tactile Feedback for Harsh Environments: The stainless-steel keypad provides physical "click" feedback. This ensures accurate operator input even when wearing heavy industrial gloves or working in environments with high mechanical vibration where touchscreens may fail.
-
Direct DeviceNet Integration: The integrated DeviceNet communication port allows the terminal to function as a node on high-speed factory floor networks. This simplifies the wiring of multiple operator stations back to a central Logix or PLC-5 controller.
-
Universal Power Compatibility: The wide-range AC input (100–240V AC) accommodates various global power standards. This eliminates the need for external transformers or specialized DC power supplies within the control cabinet.
-
Rugged Mechanical Construction: The terminal features a high-impact housing designed for industrial durability. Its front bezel meets NEMA 4X requirements, protecting internal electronics against dust, splashing water, and corrosive cleaning agents.
-
Legacy System Continuity: This unit offers a direct replacement path for existing PanelView 600 applications. Because it utilizes the original PanelBuilder32 software protocol, it allows for instant project restoration without rewriting complex HMI logic.
FAQs
-
Can the 2711-K6C10 be used to replace a 2711-T6C10?
The 2711-K6C10 uses keypad input, whereas the 2711-T6C10 uses a touchscreen. While they share the same communication ports and power requirements, the physical mounting dimensions and user interaction differ. You must verify if your existing panel cutout accommodates the keypad-style bezel.
-
Is this a genuine, factory-sealed Allen Bradley unit?
Absolutely. We guarantee that every 2711-K6C10 we ship is 100% brand new in its original Allen Bradley packaging. We specialize in providing authentic, surplus factory stock to ensure E-E-A-T procurement compliance for discontinued series.
-
Which software should I use to program this terminal?
The 2711-K6C10 requires Allen Bradley PanelBuilder32 software. This software manages screen development, alarm configurations, and tag assignments for the entire PanelView Standard range.
-
Does this model support EtherNet/IP?
No. The 2711-K6C10 utilizes DeviceNet as its primary communication protocol. If your system requires Ethernet connectivity, you must utilize a protocol gateway or upgrade to a PanelView Plus series terminal.

Tech & Buying Guide
Evolving SCADA System Architectures in Industrial Automation
A robust Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system serves as the heartbeat of modern industrial operations. Understanding SCADA system architecture is vital for engineers designing efficient control systems. These architectures have evolved from isolated, monolithic structures to highly interconnected, networked ecosystems. Choosing the right design requires balancing data visibility, processing power, and long-term scalability requirements.
Choosing the Right Controller: PLC vs. Motion Controller in Industrial Automation
Selecting the optimal control architecture is a foundational decision in industrial automation. Engineers must frequently choose between a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a dedicated Motion Controller. While both systems manage machinery, their underlying design philosophies differ significantly, impacting performance, scalability, and system integration.
Mastering PLC Power Supply Architectures and Operating Voltages
Selecting the correct operating voltage is a critical step in designing reliable industrial automation systems. Whether you are working with a compact PLC or a large-scale DCS, your power architecture dictates the system's longevity. In this guide, we explore the standard voltage ranges and power distribution strategies required to maintain stable factory automation operations.
