Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C15 is a PanelView 1000 Standard color operator terminal designed for centralized monitoring and control in industrial automation systems. With its rugged panel-mount design and resistive touchscreen interface, this terminal enables operators to interact with distributed control systems, factory automation, and process manufacturing equipment via an intuitive color display. Although discontinued by the manufacturer, the 2711-T10C15 remains a reliable workhorse in legacy facilities and is widely supported through aftermarket maintenance and integration services.
Key Features
- 10-inch Color TFT Display: 640 × 480 pixel resolution with Active Matrix Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) technology and cold-cathode fluorescent (CCF) backlight for clear, bright visualization.
- Resistive Touchscreen: Embedded touch-sensitive cells (24 columns × 16 rows) with 26 × 30 pixel resolution enable reliable operator input in dusty or harsh environments.
- ControlNet Communication: Native ControlNet industrial protocol port for synchronous data exchange with Allen-Bradley PLC-5, SLC 500, and CompactLogix systems.
- RS-232 Printer Port: Dedicated serial port for data logging, alarm reporting, and event printing without consuming network bandwidth.
- NEMA 4X / IP54–IP65 Rated Housing: Sealed enclosure suitable for indoor washdown and moderate environmental exposure.
- Panel-Mount Flush Installation: Compact form factor (11.11 × 14.58 × 4.4 inches) integrates directly into standard control cabinets and machine guards.

Compatibility & Replacements
The 2711-T10C15 communicates with PLC-5, SLC 500, and ControlLogix platforms via ControlNet or serial protocols and is programmed through PanelBuilder32 legacy software. While no longer actively developed, this terminal remains stable in facilities that do not require frequent application changes.
Modern Upgrade Path: For new deployments or systems requiring active development support, Rockwell Automation recommends migration to PanelView Plus or PanelView 5000 families, which offer higher resolution displays, Ethernet connectivity, and extended manufacturer support.
This is a used, discontinued unit. Verify compatibility with your legacy control architecture and confirm PanelBuilder32 availability before purchase. All specifications and images are representative; actual serial number and revision level may vary.
