2711P-B6C20A8 New 2711PB6C20A8 PanelView Plus 6 Color Key Touch Screen
PRODUCT DETAILS
2711P-B6C20A8 — 6-Inch Color HMI Terminal, Keypad and Touch, AC Power
The 2711P-B6C20A8 is a compact 5.7-inch color HMI terminal combining keypad and touchscreen input in one unit, powered by AC supply voltage in the 85–264V range. It includes embedded Ethernet, an RS-232 port, and two USB ports for application transfer and peripheral connection, running a machine-edition HMI runtime suited to small operator interface applications where panel space is constrained.

A Compact Color Terminal for Tight Panel Space
At 5.7 inches, this terminal sits at the smaller end of available color HMI sizes — appropriate for machine interfaces that need a handful of status indicators, simple numeric entry, and basic navigation rather than detailed multi-screen graphics. The combined keypad and touch input gives operators two interaction methods on the same device: physical keys for frequently-used functions where tactile confirmation matters, and the touchscreen for menu navigation and data entry.
The dual USB ports support application transfer via USB drive and peripheral connection — a keyboard or mouse during commissioning, for example — without requiring network access. The Ethernet port carries both application download traffic and runtime communication with the connected controller, while the RS-232 port provides a serial fallback for older controller architectures or point-to-point connections where Ethernet isn't available.
FAQ
Q: Can this terminal connect to a controller over RS-232 instead of Ethernet?
Yes. The RS-232 port supports serial communication protocols compatible with legacy controller architectures, providing an alternative path when Ethernet connectivity isn't available or required.
Q: Is the touchscreen usable with the keypad simultaneously in the same application?
Yes. Both input methods are active at the same time — an application can be designed so some functions are touch-driven while others use dedicated keypad keys.
Q: What enclosure rating does this terminal achieve when properly mounted?
When flush-mounted to a panel meeting the appropriate NEMA, UL Type, or IP rating with the correct gasket seal, the terminal achieves the sealing rating of that panel cutout — verify gasket condition periodically as part of routine maintenance.
Q: Can the display brightness or contrast be adjusted?
Yes. Standard display adjustment settings are accessible through the terminal's configuration menu, allowing brightness and related display parameters to be tuned for the installation's lighting conditions.
