Allen Bradley 2711P-K12C15A1 PanelView Plus 1250 Keypad/ControlNet Terminal

Core Advantages

• Large 12.1-Inch Color Display: The terminal features a 12.1-inch TFT color graphics display with 800 x 600 resolution, providing ample screen real estate for complex process graphics, trends, and alarms. This larger display size makes it ideal for applications requiring detailed visualization of multiple process parameters simultaneously .

• ControlNet Deterministic Communication: The built-in ControlNet interface ensures scheduled, time-critical data exchange with PLC controllers, supporting deterministic network slots for synchronized input polling and display refresh. This makes the terminal particularly suited for ControlNet architectures requiring reliable, repeatable communication timing .

• Reliable Keypad Input: The terminal features a full numeric keypad, navigation keys, and programmable function keys for fast, error-resistant data entry. The stainless-steel membrane keypad offers durability and tactile feedback, making it ideal for applications where operators require precise input control .

• Robust Industrial Construction: Built to withstand harsh conditions including vibration, dust, and typical industrial temperatures, the terminal operates reliably in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 55°C with humidity levels from 5% to 95% (non-condensing). The panel-mount design ensures durability in factory floor environments .

• Field-Replaceable Components: The LED backlight module is field-replaceable, reducing maintenance downtime and extending operational life. The modular design includes separate logic and display modules for simplified serviceability .

• Seamless Rockwell Integration: Designed for native integration with Allen-Bradley control platforms, the terminal uses FactoryTalk View Studio software for configuration and runs FactoryTalk View Machine Edition applications, providing a consistent development environment across the Rockwell ecosystem .
