Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C22D9P PanelView Plus 7 HMI Terminal

Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 7 2711P-T7C22D9P Graphics Terminal Module

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-T7C22D9P is an industrial operator interface terminal from the PanelView Plus 7 Performance series. Engineered for demanding control applications—including shipboard auxiliary automation, offshore drilling rigs, wastewater processing, and high-throughput production lines—this graphic terminal provides local visualization and multi-controller supervisory control over standard Ethernet/IP networks.

Equipped with a 6.5-inch color active-matrix TFT display (4:3 aspect ratio, 640 x 480 VGA resolution) and an analog resistive touchscreen, the terminal runs on an isolated 24V DC nominal power supply. The integrated dual-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch supports Device Level Ring (DLR), linear, and star topologies, ensuring network fault tolerance without requiring external managed switches.

Terminal Allocations & Wiring Schematic

3-Pin DC Power Terminal Block

• Pin 1 (+ / DC+): Positive 24V DC supply lead (+18 to +30V DC input). Wire with 18–14 AWG copper conductor rated for 75°C minimum.
• Pin 2 (- / DC-): 24V DC Common / Ground return from isolated power source.
• Pin 3 (PE / Ground): Dedicated Functional/Protective Earth bond. Connect to central panel ground bus using low-impedance copper strap or 14 AWG wire (<1 ohm to vessel ground plane).

Interface Ports

• LAN 1 / LAN 2 (RJ-45): 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with internal managed bypass for DLR topologies. Compatible with Cat5e/Cat6 shielded twisted pair (STP).
• USB 1 / USB 2 (Type-A): Standard 5V, 500mA host ports for flash storage drives, barcode scanners, and approved USB input peripherals.
• USB Device (Type-B): Factory application download/diagnostic maintenance connection.

Part Number Cross-References

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary difference between PanelView Plus 7 Standard and Performance models?

The Performance model (indicated by the 2711P-T7C22D9P catalog number) includes dual Ethernet ports supporting Device Level Ring (DLR) redundancy, supports larger FactoryTalk View ME application displays, and allows connections to multiple Logix controllers simultaneously, whereas the Standard model is limited to a single Ethernet port and one controller connection.

Can the 2711P-T7C22D9P run on 120V AC power?

No. The 2711P-T7C22D9P requires a 24V DC external power source (operating range: 18 to 30V DC). Connecting this unit to AC line voltage will cause severe damage to the internal power supply board. If only AC power is available, install an industrial DIN-rail power supply such as an Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS series converter.

How do I back up or transfer runtime applications to this terminal?

Applications (.MER files) can be transferred over Ethernet directly from FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition Transfer Utility, via an onboard SD card, or using an industrial FAT32-formatted USB flash drive connected to the rear host ports.

Is the 2711P-T7C22D9P field-repairable if the touchscreen glass is cracked?

While modular digitizers and backlights are not field-serviceable without voiding Class I Div 2 certifications, certified reconditioning facilities can replace damaged glass panels, touch sensors, and motherboards using calibrated clean-bench processes.

Does this terminal support legacy Data Highway Plus (DH+) or Remote I/O (RIO)?

The 2711P-T7C22D9P does not have native card slots for direct DH+ or RIO communication. To connect to legacy PLC-5 or SLC 500 platforms, you must communicate over Ethernet using an EtherNet/IP-to-DH+ gateway module (such as 1756-EN2T combined with 1756-DHRIO in a ControlLogix chassis) or migrate controller interfaces.
