Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C3L1 PanelView 600 HMI Human Machine Interfaces
Configured for human-machine visualization and control entry in Allen-Bradley PLC architectures, the Allen-Bradley 2711-B6C3L1 ( 2711-B6C3L1 Operator Interface) provides direct physical/electrical execution. It handles real-time graphical monitoring and operator command inputs via a 5.7-inch color display using combined keypad and touch screen interfaces across RS-232 DH-485 communication networks.
Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix
- 2711 : PanelView Standard Operator Terminal product family platform.
- B6 : PanelView 600 terminal with 5.7-inch display featuring combined keypad and touch screen input modes.
- C : Color active display screen (320 x 234 pixel resolution).
- 3 : Point-to-point / network communication option via DH-485 protocol over RS-232 operating port.
- L1 : 24 VDC supply voltage input configuration.

Profinet and EtherNet/IP Deterministic Network Integration
The terminal exchanges operational tags and runtime graphics via dedicated RS-232 serial links utilizing the DH-485 communication protocol. Firmware flash compatibility ensures persistent screen memory storage and rapid execution of screen object state changes, maintaining low communication latency across local controller backplane connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power wiring precautions apply to the 24 VDC terminals on this module? A: The terminal requires a steady 24 VDC supply. Ensure correct polarity alignment on the power input terminal block to avoid tripping internal solid-state current protection or interrupting serial communication routines.
Q: Can both touch screen and keypad inputs be activated concurrently? A: The firmware processes input events sequentially to prevent race conditions when an operator presses a keypad function key while touching an active screen object.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Cut panel mounting opening to standard PanelView 600 dimensions and verify that the sealing gasket is seated uniformly around the perimeter.
- Torque panel mounting clips evenly to seal against dust and moisture ingress without causing mechanical deflection of the outer bezel assembly.
- Terminate RS-232 (DH-485) communication cabling using shielded cables, landing the shield drain wire at a single earth ground point to prevent serial noise interference.
