Two USB host ports support compatible peripheral connections, while the touchscreen provides direct operator input. The 12.1 in color active-matrix TFT uses an 800 x 600 pixel resolution with 18-bit color graphics. Its CCFL backlight is field replaceable and has a specified minimum life of 50,000 hours at 25 deg C. The terminal uses 512 MB Flash memory and 512 MB RAM with Windows CE 6. The specified input supply is 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: What communication interfaces are integrated into the 2711P-T12C4A8? A: The terminal integrates Ethernet, RS-232, and two USB host ports for communication and peripheral connectivity. Q: What display and operator input hardware does this terminal provide? A: It provides a 12.1 in color active-matrix TFT display with 800 x 600 resolution and touchscreen input. Q: Does the supplied data specify the terminal power consumption? A: No. The supplied documentation specifies the 100-240 VAC input range and 50-60 Hz frequency, but not consumption. Field Installation Guidelines Install the terminal in a panel opening that matches the manufacturer-defined mechanical requirements for the PanelView Plus 6 enclosure. Verify the incoming AC supply remains within the specified 100-240 VAC range and 50-60 Hz frequency before energization. Route AC power wiring separately from low-level communication wiring where practical to reduce conducted and radiated interference. Use appropriate protective grounding and follow the applicable electrical installation standard for the control panel. Keep Ethernet and RS-232 communication cables separated from high-current switching conductors and motor power cables. Terminate cable shields according to the control-system grounding architecture and avoid creating unintended ground-current paths. Connect USB peripherals only when their electrical characteristics and installation requirements are compatible with the terminal. Inspect the touchscreen and display area after installation to ensure the operator interface remains unobstructed. Because the supplied lifecycle status is end of life, verify system compatibility and replacement requirements before integrating the terminal into a new control installation.
