Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-T6C10L1 Series B is a PanelView 600 color operator terminal built for machine-level HMI duty on the plant floor. It is a DC-powered standard operator terminal from the Allen-Bradley PanelView family, controlled by a 6-inch touchscreen that supports full color graphics, with a nominal input voltage rating of 24 V DC and two ports — an RS-232 printer port and a DeviceNet communication port. This unit is offered in tested used condition as a direct replacement for failed or aging PanelView 600 terminals.

- RS-232 printer port for data logs and reports
- 240 KB of available memory and red and green status indicator lights for communication and fault status updates
- CCF backlight with a 50,000-hour operating lifespan at 25 °C
- NEMA-rated enclosure for industrial environments
Technical Specifications
Verified specifications for the Allen-Bradley 2711-T6C10L1 PanelView 600 Series B are listed in the specs table. It operates on a DC power supply ranging from 18 to 32 volts and provides a memory capacity of 240 KB for application storage.
Typical Applications
The PanelView 600 color terminal is commonly deployed as the operator interface on packaging lines, conveyors, OEM machinery, and process skids that already use a DeviceNet backbone. Terminals connect to PLC, SLC, and ControlLogix controllers on the link using a DeviceNet Scanner Module, providing direct access to data that minimizes ladder logic, and the DeviceNet network supports change-of-state, cyclic, polled, and peer-to-peer messaging for more efficient communication.
Compatibility & Replacements
The Allen-Bradley 2711-T6C10L1 is part of the legacy PanelView Standard family. PanelView Standard operator interfaces are certified DeviceNet compliant, which guarantees compatibility with other compliant devices. The 2711-T6C10L1 has been discontinued by the manufacturer, so surplus and refurbished units like this one are the most cost-effective way to keep installed systems online. Long-term migration paths include the PanelView Plus 6 / Plus 7 600 series (2711P-T6 family); confirm application file conversion in FactoryTalk View ME before migrating.
