Allen Bradley 2711-K6C10 PanelView Standard 600 Color Keypad Terminal

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.

Technical Specifications

The 2711-K6C10 utilizes an optimized hardware architecture for dedicated industrial control:

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.
