Description
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-B12C4D9 is a PanelView Plus 6, 1250-class operator terminal with a 12.1-inch color display and combined keypad/touch input. It is designed for machine operation, process monitoring, alarm visualization, data entry, and operator control within Rockwell Automation systems.
This model provides Ethernet and RS-232 communication, DC power input, and runs Windows CE 6.0 with Extended Features. Rockwell Automation lists the catalog number as discontinued, with an engineering replacement available.
🖥️ Display & Operator Interface
The 1250 model uses a 12.1-inch color active-matrix TFT display with an 800 × 600 resolution and 18-bit color graphics. The terminal combines a keypad with an analog resistive touchscreen, giving operators two practical ways to interact with the HMI.
The display viewing area is approximately 246 × 184 mm, while the terminal itself measures about 416 × 282 × 55 mm before considering the additional mounted depth.
