General Information

Core Description

The 2711P-B15C22D9P is an Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminal featuring a 15-inch color TFT display with combination keypad and touch screen operation. Fully compatible with EtherNet/IP networks, this rugged DC-powered unit works seamlessly with ControlLogix and CompactLogix 5370 controllers to deliver flexible programming environment via FactoryTalk View Machine Edition software and stable industrial communication.

Specific Application

• Distributed operator control and visualization for high-complexity manufacturing or process systems via direct interface with ControlLogix and CompactLogix 5370 controllers on EtherNet/IP networks.
• High-availability industrial automation setups demanding fault-tolerant Device Level Ring (DLR), linear, or star network topologies implemented directly through dual onboard 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports.
• Challenging machine-level control environments requiring dual-input interface versatility where operators rely on combination analog resistive touch inputs or tactile mechanical keypads for precise data entry.
• Hazardous industrial locations classified as Class I, Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, D), Class II, Division 2 (Groups F, G), and Class III (Div 1 and 2) requiring rugged, certified electronic containment.
• Remote plant floor monitoring and diagnostic visualization architectures leveraging built-in FactoryTalk ViewPoint software to allow secure supervisory tracking from standard external web browsers.

System Compatibility and Alternative Models

• System Compatibility: Monitors and controls automation hardware over an EtherNet/IP network. Integrates natively with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix 5370 controllers. Supports safety extra low voltage (SELV) and protective extra low voltage (PELV) 24V DC power inputs (such as 1606-XLP95E or 1606-XLP100E power supplies).
• Alternative Model: 2711P-T15C22D9P HMI Terminal.
• Key Differences:
• Operator Input Configuration: The 2711P-B15C22D9P features a combination interface supporting both analog resistive touch screen inputs and mechanical keypad inputs. The 2711P-T15C22D9P is a touch-only operator terminal.
• Physical Dimension Footprint: Due to the built-in tactile keypad array, the 2711P-B15C22D9P has larger physical boundaries measuring approximately 322 x 484 x 69.6 mm with a panel cutout requirement of 290 x 418 mm. The touch-only alternative has a smaller housing size measuring 318 x 381 x 69.6 mm and a cutout sizing of 290 x 353 mm.

Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ

Q1: Can this PanelView Plus 7 terminal be mounted inside an outdoor enclosure facing directly toward the sun?
A: No, you must not operate the terminal in direct sunlight. Continuous direct exposure to intensive ultraviolet (UV) light can permanently discolor or degrade the analog resistive touch screen overlay layout over time.

Q2: What topology layouts are supported by the integrated communication hubs on this Performance module?
A: The terminal features two built-in 10/100Base-T Auto MDI/MDIX Ethernet ports. This hardware layout fully supports high-availability Device Level Ring (DLR) network rings as well as standard linear or star cabling topologies.

Q3: What actions should be taken if the real-time clock (RTC) fails to maintain accurate project timestamps?
A: When system time accuracy drifts beyond its standard baseline parameter of ±2 minutes per month, the internal backup battery needs replacement. The terminal relies on a user-serviceable CR2032 lithium coin cell battery (equivalent to catalog number 2711P-RY2032) which features a minimum field service life of 4 years at 25 °C.
