Allen Bradley 2711P-T15C22D8S PanelView Plus 7 Operator Interface

Applications

The Allen Bradley 2711P-T15C22D8S PanelView Plus 7 Operator Interface is a 15-inch industrial HMI terminal designed for machine-level visualization, operator control, and production monitoring. As a Standard-series terminal, it provides a touchscreen interface for displaying process information, operating equipment, and viewing alarms.

Its embedded Ethernet switch with Device Level Ring (DLR) support makes it suitable for industrial networks that require flexible Ethernet connectivity and ring topology.

Typical applications include:

• Manufacturing equipment and automated production lines

• Packaging and material handling machinery

• Process monitoring and operator control stations

• Industrial conveyor and assembly systems

• Machine status, alarm, and diagnostic displays

• PLC-based automation systems using EtherNet/IP
