Operator Interface Terminals | Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C8L1
The Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C8L1 is a PanelView 600 Standard human-machine interface (HMI) terminal designed for industrial monitoring and process control. Featuring a 5.7-inch active-matrix color display with a 320 x 234 pixel resolution and a dedicated keypad interface, this unit facilitates real-time visualization and operator input. It is equipped with a Data Highway Plus (DH+) communication port and an auxiliary RS-232 port for printer connection, operating on an input power supply of 24 VDC.

System Integration & Hardware Notes
The 2711-K6C8L1 connects directly to legacy Allen-Bradley PLC networks via its DH+ communication interface, allowing multi-node device linking and data exchange across SLC 500 or PLC-5 controllers. System configuration, screen design, and tag mapping are created using PanelBuilder32 software.
The terminal requires a DC power supply rated between 18 and 32 VDC. Environmental protection relies on proper panel cutout mounting using the included mounting clips to satisfy NEMA 4X or IP65 sealing ratings. Maintenance technicians can service display backlighting without replacing the entire HMI chassis by using replacement backlight bulb module 2711-NL3.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What communication cables are compatible with the DH+ port on the 2711-K6C8L1?A: The DH+ network interface uses standard 3-pin Belden 9463 twinaxial cable assemblies (or 2711-NC14 cables) connected to the dedicated DH+ port on the rear panel.
Q: Can the RS-232 port on this model be used for PLC logic programming?A: On the 2711-K6C8L1 model, the secondary RS-232 serial interface is designated as a dedicated printer port for printing triggered alarms and historical data rather than primary system upload/download operations.
