Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-K4C5D8 PanelView Plus 400 Operator Interface is a compact and reliable human-machine interface (HMI) designed for efficient operator control and system visualization in industrial environments. Manufactured by Rockwell Automation under the Allen-Bradley product family, this unit belongs to the PanelView Plus 6 series, offering improved performance and enhanced usability compared to earlier generations.
This model features a 3.5-inch color display with a keypad-only interface, making it particularly suitable for environments where touchscreen operation may be limited due to dust, moisture, or operator safety requirements. Running on the Windows CE 6 operating system, it supports stable and flexible application deployment using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition.
With built-in communication ports such as RS-232 and USB, the terminal provides reliable connectivity for data exchange, configuration, and integration with control systems. Its compact size and rugged construction make it an ideal solution for panel-mounted applications in space-constrained industrial setups.
