Hardware Specifications Parameter Specification Model 2711P-T12C4D9 Brand Allen-Bradley Series PanelView Plus 6, 1200 Series Product Type Operator Interface Terminal Display Size 12.1 in diagonal Display Type Color active-matrix TFT Display Resolution 800 x 600 SVGA Color Depth 18-bit color graphics Touch Interface Analog resistive touch screen Operating System Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 Runtime Software FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Input Voltage 18 to 32 VDC, 24 VDC nominal Power Consumption 70 W maximum, 2.9 A at 24 VDC Internal Memory 512 MB RAM, 512 MB non-volatile flash Ethernet Port 1 x Ethernet, 10/100 Mbps, RJ-45 Serial Port 1 x RS-232 / DH-485 USB Host Ports 2 x USB 2.0 Host USB Device Port 1 x USB Device Storage Expansion SD card slot Operating Temp 0 to 55 deg C Weight 6.35 lb Industrial Control and HMI Interface Characteristics The 2711P-T12C4D9 uses a 12.1 in color TFT display with 800 x 600 SVGA resolution for runtime visualization. The analog resistive touch interface provides direct operator input without requiring an external pointing device. The terminal operates with Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 and FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime software. Ethernet communication uses a 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 interface for network-connected control and visualization functions. The RS-232 / DH-485 interface supports serial communication within compatible Allen-Bradley control architectures. Two USB 2.0 Host ports and one USB Device port provide peripheral and service connectivity. The 18 to 32 VDC input range is specified for a 24 VDC nominal supply connection. The maximum stated power consumption is 70 W, corresponding to 2.9 A at 24 VDC. Internal storage consists of 512 MB RAM and 512 MB non-volatile flash memory, with additional SD card storage capability. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: What input voltage does the 2711P-T12C4D9 require? A: The terminal accepts 18 to 32 VDC, with 24 VDC specified as the nominal input voltage. Q: Which communication interfaces are provided on this terminal? A: The hardware provides Ethernet at 10/100 Mbps, RS-232 / DH-485, two USB 2.0 Host ports, and one USB Device port. Q: What type of touch technology is used? A: The 12.1 in display uses an analog resistive touch screen for operator input. Field Installation Guidelines Mount the terminal in a panel cutout compatible with the specified 12.1 in operator interface assembly. Verify the supplied DC voltage remains within the specified 18 to 32 VDC input range during operation. Use appropriately sized conductors for the DC supply and protect the circuit according to the installation design. Route Ethernet, serial, USB, and power wiring separately where practical to reduce conducted electrical interference. Maintain suitable clearance around connectors and service-access areas before securing the terminal in the enclosure. Connect cable shields according to the plant grounding architecture and avoid creating unintended shield ground loops. Use shielded communication cabling where required by the connected network and maintain controlled cable routing near high-current conductors. Verify the touch surface remains accessible and unobstructed after panel installation. Before applying power, inspect connector seating, supply polarity, grounding, and cable termination. Confirm the configured FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application matches the terminal hardware and installed runtime environment.
