The 2711-T10C1 terminal, like the other Allen-Bradley 2711 series parts, is an Allen-Bradley PanelView Standard 1000 terminal. This PanelView Standard 1000 terminal is designed for effective use as a machine interface for a variety of industrial machine and factory systems. The users can input the information about the applications that they are running through the touchscreen of the 2711-T10C1 terminal. It comes with a sharp 10.1-inch multicolor active matrix display. Its touchscreen provides the users with an interface for logical control whenever an application needs to be executed. Also like the other Allen-Bradley 2711 parts, the Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C1 PanelView Standard 1000 terminal features a durable NEMA 4X or Type 12/13 enclosure for protection, and this terminal can run on an input power range of 85 to 264 Volts AC. The 2711-T10C1 terminal has a memory capacity of 256 KB for storing applications, data, and files. The remote I/O and the printer ports on this terminal are used for adaptable communication with other machines or mechanical systems. The 2711-T10C1 PanelView Standard 1000 terminal also has a non-volatile memory capacity of 1008 KB and an internal RAM capacity of 310 KB. The 2711-T10C1 PanelView terminal weighs 7 pounds and measures 15 x 11 x 5 inches.

The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C1 is a PanelView 1000 Standard operator terminal. This operator terminal is also known as Human Machine Interface (HMI) or Man Machine Interface (MMI). It is an industrial device that is primarily used to implement centralized and automated control of a machine or process and contributes to a more efficient and accurate operator response. Through the 10-inch colored display screen and touch operator interface, plant operators can monitor and input control commands from a central location in the factory floor.

The 2711-T10C1 communicates with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) such as PLC5 and SLC500 as well as Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) including the MicroLogix, CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers. It also supports 3rd party controllers aside from Allen-Bradley PLCs and PACs. Communication with controllers is executed via the supported communication protocol of the 2711-T10C1 which is Remote I/O (RIO). Using the Belden Blue Hose cable, multi-node communication and data exchange are implemented real-time in high transmission rates.

For installation, the 2711-T10C1 is flush mounted to an enclosure with an appropriate protection rating of NEMA Type 12, 13, 4X (indoor use only), IP54 or IP65 rated enclosure. To energize this device, it must be connected to an AC power source that provides 85-264 Volts AC voltage range. It may only be installed horizontally as this HMI unit does not support screen rotation.

This contributes to maximized engineering time.
