2711-T10C8 AC-powered operator terminal Allen Bradley

The Allen-Bradley graphic operator terminal with catalog number 2711-T10C8 is part of the 2711 PanelView Standard operator terminals. It is specifically part of the PanelView Plus 1000 operator terminals which comes with standard capabilities such as a 10.1-inch colored display screen with resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, touch input interface and integral 1008 Kbytes internal flash memory.

The 2711-T10C8 has specific feature provided by the built-in Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication port and RS232 Printer interface. The DH+ port is used for exchanging data with partner controllers such as PLC5, SLC500, and other Allen-Bradley Programable Logic Controllers (PLC), even with 3rd party devices with support for DH+ protocol as well. DH+ uses a 3-wire cable, which may be implemented in long distances and support communication with one or more controllers. The secondary port which is the RS232 is used for communicating with alarm printers, enabling printing and documenting of alarms and events for historization and reports.

The 2711-T10C8 is a flush mounted to an enclosure and supports horizontal orientation only. It requires mounting clearance of 51 mm or 2 inches on all sides to ensure adequate air flow as well as working space for installation of additional components intended for the operator terminal.

The 2711-T10C8 is mounted to an enclosure rated NEMA Type 12/13, 4X (Indoor use only) IP54, IP65. The required operating temperature is 0…55 ° C (32…131 ° F) with shock and vibration rating of 15 g and 2 g up to 2,000 Hz respectively. Install appropriate cooling and heating devices to maintain the required temperature as well shoch and vibration protection to achieve maximum operating life of the operator terminal.

In addition to communicating with machine controllers, the 2711-T10C8 PanelView 1000 is an excellent input module, allowing the user to input information and commands through its sharp, 10-inch touchscreen. The display is multicolored as is approximately 8.3 inches by 6.2 inches. This display doubles as the touch input touchscreen, with a 1-million press approximate actuation. Its field-replaceable backlight has a 50,000 hour half-life at a consistent temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit, and the module’s built-in time-stamping clock runs on batteries that can also be replaced in the field.

The 2711-T10C8 can hold up to 1008 kilobytes of nonvolatile memory, along with 310 kilobytes of application runtime memory. In addition to both of those storage options, the 2711-T10C8 PanelView can support ATA flash memory cards, for additional external memory storage.

The 2711-T10C8 is powered by an external voltage supply of 85 and 264 Volts of AC power to operate on a frequency between 47 and 63 Hertz. In general, this module’s applications will consume no more than 55 VA. The 2711-T10C8 weighs between 7 and 8 pounds or 3.2 to 3.6 kilograms. Its size is around 11.11 x 14.58 x 4.40 inches, and it should be kept lower than 6561 feet when mounted. This PanelView 1000 series of modules operates ideally when the surrounding temperature stays lower than 131 degrees Fahrenheit, but higher than 32 (or freezing point). Similarly, it is best stored in a temperature zone between -13 and 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that the 2711-T10C8 cannot withstand more than 2 g of vibration at up to 2000 Hertz and that it is limited to 15 g of shock while operating, and 30 g of shock while off.
