Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RDK12C is a display module designed for PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus 6 1250 keypad operated terminals. This display module is a replacement unit for the pre-installed display component that comes with every operator terminal, making it an essential spare part for facilities requiring extended uptime. The robust design supports continuous industrial operation in manufacturing and process environments.
Key Features
- 12.1-inch color display with vibrant 800×600 pixel resolution for clear process visualization
- Keypad interface only—supports keypad operation without touchscreen capability (unlike 2711P-RDB12C)
- Display area of 246 × 184 mm (9.69 × 7.25 in) fits standard panel cutouts
- No screen calibration required due to keypad-only design, reducing operational complexity
- Color static designs and animation support for detailed process mimics and user feedback

Typical Applications
PanelView Plus 1250 terminals are widely deployed in pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage processing, chemical batch processes, packaging lines, and water treatment facilities. The 2711P-RDK12C display module is essential for:
- Replacing failed or degraded displays in operating facilities
- Maintaining uptime in mission-critical production environments
- Upgrading legacy operator interface systems
- Facilities preferring keypad control over touchscreen interfaces
Compatibility & Replacements
The 2711P-RDK12C is directly compatible with PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus 6 1250 keypad operated terminals. Unlike the 2711P-RDB12C (which adds touchscreen capability), the RDK12C is keypad-only and requires no calibration. Ensure proper module revision suffix (such as /C or /D) matches your terminal configuration. Always verify terminal model and firmware revision before ordering replacement display modules. Contact your system integrator or Rockwell Automation distributor to confirm compatibility with your specific configuration.
