2711P-T15C21D8S 15-inch Touchscreen Operator Terminal

The Allen‑Bradley 2711P-T15C21D8S is a rugged PanelView Plus 7 standard operator terminal for industrial use.

It provides real‑time visualization and direct interaction between operators and automated control processes.

This unit uses a 15‑inch color active‑matrix TFT display with a 4:3 aspect ratio for clear graphics.

An analog resistive touchscreen allows reliable input even with gloved hands or plastic styli.

The 2711P-T15C21D8S includes 512MB RAM and 512MB non‑volatile memory for application storage.

It supports communication with CompactLogix, ControlLogix, and Stratix switches via Ethernet.

Dual USB host ports support flash drives, keyboards, and mice for easy configuration and file transfer.

A built‑in SD card slot enables additional memory expansion for projects and data logging.

This terminal supports VNC, ActiveX controls, and third‑party devices for flexible system integration.

Its non‑replaceable LED backlight delivers a minimum of 50,000 hours of life at 40 °C to half brightness.

The 2711P-T15C21D8S uses a 15‑inch color active‑matrix TFT display with sharp visuals.

It offers a physical display area of 304 x 228 mm for process monitoring and control screens.

Resolution is 1024 x 768 XGA with 18‑bit color graphics for detailed visual representation.

The analog resistive touchscreen supports up to 1 million press actuations in its lifespan.

Recommended operating force for the touch interface is 100 grams for accurate and gentle use.

It works reliably with gloved fingers or plastic styli in typical industrial environments.

This terminal includes 512MB of RAM and 512MB of non‑volatile memory for fast operation.

Approximately 80MB of free user memory is available for applications and project files.

A battery‑backed real‑time clock maintains time with an accuracy of ±2 minutes per month at 25°C.

The clock battery uses a CR2032 lithium coin cell and provides a minimum service life of 4 years.

The 2711P-T15C21D8S supports fast project loading and responsive on‑screen navigation.

The unit operates on a DC input voltage range of 18–30 VDC with a nominal 24 VDC supply.

Maximum power consumption reaches 50 W, equivalent to 2.1 A at a 24V DC input.

Heat dissipation is rated at 30 Watts or 102 BTU for proper thermal management.

Operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 55 °C (32–131 °F) for standard industrial locations.

It can function at altitudes up to 2000 meters without performance degradation.

Shock resistance is 15 g for 11 ms, and vibration resistance is 2 g peak at 57–500 Hz.

The 2711P-T15C21D8S features one Ethernet port supporting linear network topology.

This port connects directly to CompactLogix, ControlLogix, or external Ethernet switches.

Two USB host ports support flash drives, external mice, and keyboards for easy setup.

An SD card slot provides extra storage for projects, recipes, and data logging files.

The terminal supports VNC client‑server access and ActiveX controls for extended functionality.

It communicates reliably with HMIs, SCADA systems, and various third‑party industrial devices.

The 2711P-T15C21D8S has physical dimensions of 318 x 381 x 56.5 mm for panel mounting.

Required cutout dimensions are 290 x 353 mm for clean installation into enclosures.

Net weight is listed at 5.00 lbs (2.27 kg) for handling and shipping calculations.

It can be used with a DIN‑rail power supply for simplified cabinet integration.

The build is ruggedized to withstand shock, vibration, and typical factory conditions.

Begin installation by preparing a control panel with the required 290 x 353 mm cutout.

Ensure the mounting area provides sufficient space and avoids direct heat sources.

Insert the 2711P-T15C21D8S into the cutout and secure it with appropriate mounting clips.

Connect the 18–30 VDC power supply to the designated power terminals on the unit.

Route an Ethernet cable from the terminal to your controller or network switch.

Plug USB devices such as flash drives or input devices into the dual USB host ports if needed.

Insert an optional SD card into the dedicated slot for expanded memory and data storage.

Verify all wiring is secure and free of shorts before applying power to the terminal.

Power on the unit and check for proper display illumination and touch responsiveness.

Configure network settings and load runtime applications using the supported software tools.

Confirm communication with controllers and validate screen functionality before full deployment.
