Description

The Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C16L1 is a PanelView 600 operator terminal designed to provide a robust human-machine interface (HMI) for industrial automation systems. This unit features a 5-inch color display and a tactile keypad input, allowing operators to monitor and control machine processes effectively. As a legacy HMI solution, it is frequently utilized to maintain and support existing control architectures, helping to mitigate downtime in established manufacturing and processing environments.

Features

  • 5-inch color display for clear visualization of process data.
  • Tactile keypad interface for reliable operator input in industrial settings.
  • Dual RS-232 communication ports for versatile connectivity.
  • Supports DF1 protocol for seamless integration with SLC 500, PLC-5, and MicroLogix controllers.
  • Dedicated printer/download port for application management and documentation.
  • Compact design suitable for panel-mount applications.

Applications

The 2711-K6C16L1 is typically deployed in industrial automation environments requiring serial communication with Allen-Bradley PLC platforms. It is commonly used in manufacturing lines, material handling systems, and process control stations where legacy HMI hardware is required for system compatibility.
