Product Overview

The 2711P‑K6M20D8 is a 6‑inch keypad‑operated monochrome HMI terminal from Allen‑Bradley PanelView Plus 6 series. Designed for industrial panel‑mount applications, it uses physical hard keys for operator input instead of touch‑screen, ideal for heavy‑dust, high‑vibration workshop environments where touch‑panel operation is unreliable.

This HMI supports EtherNet/IP and serial DF1 communication for connection to Rockwell ControlLogix, CompactLogix, SLC‑500 and MicroLogix PLC systems. It runs FactoryTalk View ME runtime for process‑value display, alarm logging, recipe handling and machine‑operation control. SD‑card slot enables convenient project backup, restore and firmware upgrade. Robust front‑panel IP65 rating resists dust, water splash and workshop contaminant. Original OEM production is discontinued; widely supplied as refurbished and new‑old‑stock spare parts for legacy automation‑system maintenance and retrofit projects.

Application Notes

‑ Keypad‑only unit, no touch‑screen function. Program projects with FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition software. ‑ Operate with 24 V DC SELV power supply; do not feed AC voltage directly to power terminals. ‑ Panel cut‑out installation; ensure front‑panel gasket is intact to preserve IP65 protection rating. ‑ Keep rear housing inside control cabinet; rear side is IP20, must avoid liquid splashing and dust accumulation. ‑ Verify project runtime firmware version matches terminal firmware before download. ‑ Not hot‑swappable; cut DC power before wiring and unit replacement. ‑ Typical deployment: packaging machines, material‑handling equipment, assembly‑line stations, water‑treatment plants for legacy Rockwell automation‑system spare‑part stocking and on‑site retrofits.
