Allen-Bradley PanelView Standard 2711-K10C8 — 10″ Keypad HMI, DH+ / RS-232, 2711-T6C8L1 / 2711-K10C1 etc.

Description

• 2711-K10C8​ → PanelView Standard 1000 (10″ display), Keypad (Function keys only — no touch), DH+ (Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus — 57.6 / 115.2 / 230.4 kbps typical) AND RS-232 Printer/Download port, 256 Kbytes application memory, 10″ STN color or monochrome? Actually -K10C8 = Color Active Matrix TFT (10″ 640×480 VGA)​ — “C” = Color TFT; “G” = Monochrome. “8” in suffix often = DH+ & RS-232 (C8 = DH+ + RS-232; C9 = EtherNet/IP + RS-232; C1 = DH-485 for MicroLogix; C10L1 = DH+ & RS-232 with long-label support / Series B firmwareetc.).
  The 2711-K10C8​ is a 10-inch Keypad-only Color TFT PanelView Standard, communicating natively with PLC-5 / SLC 5/04 over DH+, or can be configured for SLC 5/03 (DH-485) with different cable if using DH-485 models — but -K10C8 is DH+ primary.
• 2711-T6C8L1​ → PanelView Standard 600 (6″) Touch Screen only (no keys), Color TFT, DH+ & RS-232, Series B/L1 (long-label firmware) — “L1” denotes Series B hardware with long tag name support (for RSLogix 5000 v16+ alias tags or long SLC tag names in PVPlus migrated apps — on Standard it’s limited but L1 = longer descriptor support).
• 2711-T6C9L1​ → Same 6″ Touch Color but EtherNet/IP (10/100) + RS-232​ — for connection to ControlLogix/CompactLogix or SLC 5/05 via Ethernet.
• 2711-K10C1​ → 10″ Keypad Color — DH-485 (MicroLogix 1000/1100/1200 / SLC 5/03)​ + RS-232 — NOT DH+! Use with MicroLogix.
• 2711-K10C10 / 2711-K10C (no suffix or partial)​ → Often shorthand for -K10C8 / -K10C9 / -K10C1 — verify full 20-char code: e.g., 2711-K10C10 = 10″ Keypad Color, EtherNet/IP + RS-232​ (C10 = ENET + RS-232 on PanelView Standard 1000).

⚠️ PanelView Standard ≠ PanelView Plus!​ These are discontinued legacy units​ — replaced by PanelView Plus 6 / 7 (2711P-T10C…). If you are designing new, consider PanelView Plus 6 10″ (2711P-T10C22D8S / 2711P-K10C22D8S) which supports newer protocols (EtherNet/IP native to Logix) and FactoryTalk View ME. But if you need exact replacement for an existing 2711-K10C8 — this is the correct part.

Key Features (2711-K10C8 / 2711-T6C8L1 family)

• Display: 10″ (K10) = 640×480 VGA (TFT Color or Mono — C=TFT Color); 6″ (T6) = 320×240 QVGA (C=TFT Color)
• Input: K = Keypad only (F-keys + nav — 20+ programmable function keys); T = Touch only; TK combo available on some Plus but Standard = K or T only
• Communications: DH+ (C8), EtherNet/IP (C9/C10), DH-485 (C1), RS-232 (Printer/Download — present on most)
• Configuration SW: PanelBuilder 32 (Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Software — legacy)
• Memory: 256 KB (typical for Standard series — enough for moderate screens, alarms, macros)
• Country of Origin: USA (Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley)

Model & Capability Table (Listed PanelView Standard Items — Indicative)

⚠️ Critical Selection & Install Notes:

1. Know Your PLC Network:
   • PLC-5 / SLC 5/04 with DH+ → use C8 (DH+)​ models (2711-K10C8, 2711-T6C8L1).
   • SLC 5/03 or MicroLogix 1000/1100/1200 (DH-485) → use C1 (DH-485)​ models (2711-K10C1).
   • SLC 5/05 or ControlLogix/CompactLogix with Ethernet → use C9/C10 (EtherNet/IP)​ models (2711-T6C9L1, 2711-K10C10).
     Using wrong comms suffix = cannot talk to PLC!
2. PanelBuilder 32 Required: Projects are created/configured in PanelBuilder 32​ (Rockwell legacy SW — not Free; often on old install CDs or downloadable with valid TechConnect). File extension .PBA. Cannot open/edit in FactoryTalk View Studio (that’s for PanelView Plus). If you have old .PBAfile — download to 2711-K10C8 via serial (RS-232) or DH+ (if DH+ model).
3. DH+ Wiring: DH+ uses Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) — Belden 9463 or equivalent — Red/Black (+/- polarity matters on some nodes but DH+ is polarity insensitive typically — terminate both ends with 150Ω resistor in blue tap connector 1785-BCM/1786-CP). PanelView DH+ port is a 3-pin terminal (Signal A, Signal B, Shield — shield to earth ground at one point).
4. Replacement Consideration: If you’re NOT replacing an existing 2711-… but building new, strongly consider PanelView Plus 6 (2711P-T10C22D8S — Touch; 2711P-K10C22D8S — Keypad/Touch combo on Plus 6 10″ — note Plus series K=keypad+touch combo or T=touch only)​ programmed with FactoryTalk View ME (V6–V12+)​ — far more capable, still supports DH+ via comm card or via passthrough from Logix ENET bridge. But 2711-K10C8 is the correct legacy spare.
5. Power / Cutout: 2711-K10C8 requires 120/240 V AC or 24 V DC (check suffix last digits: -L1 usually = 120V AC; -L2 = 240V AC; -L3 = 24V DC — confirm by full 20-char: e.g., 2711-K10C8L1 = 120V AC input, Series B/L1 firmware). Cutout ~ 243 mm × 188 mm (check A-B drawing 2711-UM…). Weight ~ 3.2 kg.

Warranty & After-Sales

• Factory new units: 12 months warranty (NOS / new old stock — tested prior ship)
• Refurbished units: 3-6 months warranty (power-on + download sample .PBA via RS-232 → verify screen render + DH+ node comms to test PLC if avail)
• Technical support for:
  • Model cross-check (confirm DH+ vs ENET vs DH-485 suffix matches your PLC network — C8=DH+, C1=DH-485, C9/C10=ENET)
  • PanelBuilder 32 upload/download procedure (RS-232 cable 1761-CBL-PM02 — AB standard; DH+ download via RSLinx + PB32)
  • DH+ network wiring & termination (Belden 9463 STP, 150Ω terminator at both ends — red/black polarity, shield grounded at one point)
  • Power / cutout dimension verification (120V AC vs 24V DC — check -L1/-L2/-L3 suffix)
  • Upgrade path advice (PanelView Standard → PanelView Plus 6 — 2711P-T10C22D8S (touch) or 2711P-K10C22D8S (keypad+limited touch on Plus — actual K10C22 has keys+some touch areas) — note: application must be re-developed in FT View ME (.MER) — no direct import from PanelBuilder 32 .PBA though Rockwell has a migration guide/tool)
  • Cross-ref to obsolete DH-485 (C1) or ENET (C9/C10) versions if you listed those
