Description
The Allen-Bradley 2711E-T14C15 is a robust, large-format industrial human-machine interface (HMI) terminal designed for high-capacity process visualization within the legacy PanelView 1400e platform. Operating on an 180 to 264 VAC input, this terminal provides centralized control and monitoring, consolidating complex plant telemetry from multiple remote nodes into a single touch-driven graphic workspace.
Features
- Large 14-inch color display for detailed plant layouts and historical trend visualization.
- Analog resistive touchscreen matrix for precise operator input, compatible with standard industrial gloves.
- Dedicated ControlNet communication port for deterministic, high-speed data exchange.
- RS-232 serial interface for auxiliary connectivity.
- 256 KB of onboard nonvolatile flash memory for application graphics and alarm tags.
- Replaceable 6189-NL2 backlight module for extended operational life.
Applications
This terminal is suitable for demanding automation environments, including automotive manufacturing, chemical batching, water treatment facilities, and primary metal processing. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Allen-Bradley PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix processor families.
