Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4D1 PanelView Plus 1500 Operator Terminal The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T15C4D1, also cataloged as the 2711P-T15 PanelView Plus 1500 Operator Terminal, provides touchscreen operator input, color TFT LCD visualization, and multiple industrial communication interfaces. The unit accepts an external 18-32 VDC supply and provides Ethernet, RS-232, USB, DH+, RIO, and DH485 communication interfaces. Hardware Specifications Parameter Specification Model 2711P-T15C4D1 Brand Allen-Bradley Product Type PanelView Plus 1500 Operator Terminal Product Line PanelView Plus 1500 Weight 9.39 lb Input Voltage 18-32 VDC Nominal Input 24 VDC Display Type Color active matrix TFT LCD Display Size 15.0 in Display Area 304 x 228 mm (12.0 x 9.0 in.) Resolution 1024 x 768 pixels Backlight CCFL, 50,000 hours minimum life Operator Input Touchscreen Touchscreen Life 1 million presses Actuation Force 10-110 g Internal Flash Memory 64 MB Internal RAM 64 MB Logic Module 2711P-RP1 Display Module 2711P-RDT15C CompactFlash Card 2711P-RW1, 32 MB Industrial Communication and Firmware Architecture The 2711P-T15C4D1 combines Ethernet and serial communication with legacy Allen-Bradley industrial network interfaces. The communication architecture includes Ethernet, RS-232, DH+, Remote I/O, DH485, and USB ports. The 64 MB Flash memory provides nonvolatile storage for terminal software and application data, while 64 MB RAM supports runtime operation. Firmware compatibility should be verified against the installed logic module, display module, and intended PanelView Plus software environment before service work. The touchscreen provides direct operator interaction through a 15.0 in color TFT LCD with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. The specified touchscreen life is 1 million presses, with an actuation force of 10-110 g. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What supply voltage does the 2711P-T15C4D1 require? A: The terminal accepts an external 18-32 VDC supply, with 24 VDC identified as the nominal input. Q: Which communication interfaces are integrated into this terminal? A: The supplied specifications identify Ethernet, RS-232, USB, DH+, Remote I/O, and DH485 interfaces. Q: Can the touchscreen and display modules be treated as interchangeable field components? A: The supplied data identifies 2711P-RDT15C as the display module and 2711P-RP1 as the logic module. Compatibility should be verified before replacement. Field Installation Guidelines Verify the panel cutout and mechanical mounting arrangement against the terminal installation documentation before installation. Confirm that the field power source remains within the specified 18-32 VDC input range. Route DC power wiring separately from high-voltage conductors and high-current switching circuits. Use appropriately rated protective devices and wiring for the external 24 VDC supply circuit. Connect Ethernet and serial communication cables according to the applicable Allen-Bradley network wiring requirements. Separate communication wiring from motor, contactor, and variable-frequency drive power conductors where practical. Maintain cable shielding and grounding practices appropriate to the installed communication interface. Avoid creating multiple unintended shield grounding points that can introduce circulating ground currents. Verify connector seating and cable strain relief before applying power. Confirm communication settings and protocol configuration before placing the terminal into operational service. Because the supplied data identifies this model as discontinued, verify replacement-module and firmware compatibility before modification or refurbishment. Do not assume hot-swap capability unless the applicable Allen-Bradley installation documentation explicitly permits live replacement for the specific module.
