Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C1 is a classic PanelView 1000 operator terminal that served as the standard 10.4″ color touchscreen HMI for industrial automation systems through the late 1990s and 2000s. This terminal was designed to work with SLC 500, ControlLogix, and CompactLogix-driven machines, providing a user-friendly interface for centralized process monitoring and control. Although discontinued by the manufacturer, the 2711-T10C1 remains in service on a large installed base of US plant equipment and is commonly replaced with tested used units or migrated to PanelView Plus 6 / Plus 7 equivalents.
