Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C16L1 PanelView 600 Color Keypad Terminal

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.

Technical Specifications

The following parameters define the operational capabilities of the 2711-K6C16L1:

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.
