Description

The Allen-Bradley 2711-K9C9 is a PanelView 900 color operator terminal designed to provide robust machine-level visualization and control in industrial automation environments. This human-machine interface (HMI) combines a bright active-matrix display with a dedicated tactile keypad input interface, allowing operators to monitor processes, execute commands, and troubleshoot faults efficiently. It integrates seamlessly into established Allen-Bradley control architectures, supporting direct communication with various programmable controllers through built-in interface ports.

Engineered for reliable operation on the factory floor, the 2711-K9C9 unit features a durable construction rated for standard industrial enclosures. Its configuration flexibility simplifies application development, making it a dependable interface solution for discrete manufacturing, material handling, and process control applications.

Features

• Equipped with an 8.27 x 5.17-inch Active Matrix Thin-Film Resistor (TFT) color display with a 600 x 400 pixel resolution.
• Features 16 tactile function keys (F1 to F16) for rapid operator navigation and input execution.
• Includes 310 KB of application runtime memory and 1,008 KB of nonvolatile memory for storing application objects, text, and bitmaps.
• Operates on an 85 to 264 VAC input voltage range with a 47 to 63 Hz input frequency.
• Provides integrated communication ports including RS-232 (DH-485) and an RS-232 printer port.
• Features front-panel status indicators for communication (COMM) and fault monitoring.

• Water and wastewater treatment monitoring

Technical Specifications

Connections / Interfaces

The terminal is equipped with an RS-232 communication port supporting DH-485 protocol for multi-drop or point-to-point connection with controllers such as SLC 500 or MicroLogix systems. An auxiliary RS-232 printer port allows direct connection to serial printers for alarm and event logging. Power is supplied via a dedicated AC terminal block accepting standard industrial control voltages.

Installation Guidelines

Mount the PanelView 900 terminal in an appropriate NEMA or IP-rated enclosure using the provided mounting clips to maintain the specified environmental seal. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and cable routing. Verify that the incoming AC supply voltage matches the operating range before applying power.
