Description
Product Name: 2711-K6C3L1 Allen Braley Central control module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 2711-K6C3L1 is a member of the PanelView 600 series of operator interface terminals. While this specific line has been transitioned to “discontinued” or “legacy” status by Rockwell Automation, it remains widely used in existing industrial setups due to its reliability and rugged design.
⚠️ Important Lifecycle Note
The PanelView 600 series is largely phased out. For new installations, Rockwell Automation typically recommends the PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView 800 series. Ensure you have a plan for spare parts or migration if this is for a critical system.
1. Product Specifications (Parameters)
The 2711-K6C3L1 is an HMI (Human Machine Interface) that allows operators to interact with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

| Display Type | Color Active Matrix TFT |
| Display Size | 5-inch (Diagonal) |
| Input Type | Stainless-steel Domed Keypad |
| Communication Port | DH-485 (Data Highway 485) |
| Programming Port | RS-232 Printer/File Transfer Port |
| Input Voltage | 24V DC (Indicated by the “L1” suffix) |
| Internal Memory | 240 KB Non-volatile (Application Flash) |
| Backlight | Replaceable CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) |
| Enclosure Rating | NEMA 4X (Indoor use), IP54, IP65 |
2. Key Product Advantages
-
Tactile Feedback: The rugged keypad is designed for harsh industrial environments where operators might be wearing gloves, providing better feedback than a touchscreen.
-
Compact Design: Ideal for small control panels or machines where space is at a premium but a color display is still required.
-
Durability: Built to withstand high vibrations, shocks, and temperature fluctuations common in factory floors.
-
DH-485 Connectivity: Native support for DH-485 makes it a direct fit for legacy SLC 500 and MicroLogix controller networks.
3. Product Applications
This terminal is commonly found in “mid-range” industrial applications, including:
-
Material Handling: Conveyor control, sorting systems, and palletizers.
-
Food & Beverage: Monitoring tank levels, temperatures, and simple mixing processes.
-
Packaging Machinery: Adjusting machine speeds, viewing alarm history, and recipe management.
-
Water Treatment: Monitoring pump stations and valve positions in remote locations.
4. Usage Precautions (Important)
-
Power Supply: This specific model (L1) requires 24V DC. Connecting it to 120V AC will result in immediate hardware failure.
-
Memory Limitations: With only 240 KB of application memory, complex graphics or large numbers of screens may cause performance lag. Optimize your images and tags.
-
Backlight Life: The CCFL backlight has a finite lifespan. If the screen appears dim or flickering, the backlight bulb likely needs replacement (Part No. 2711-NL1).
-
Configuration Software: This unit is programmed using PanelBuilder32 software. Modern Studio 5000 or View Designer software is not compatible with this legacy hardware.
