Note: Always verify panel cutout dimensions, communication protocol, and PLC compatibility before substituting. Contact Konmask for pre-sales compatibility verification.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Proven Reliability: The 2711-T10C8L1 has an extensive field track record in automotive, food & beverage, and discrete manufacturing environments.
- Native AB Integration: Seamless integration with Allen-Bradley PLCs (SLC 500, MicroLogix, PLC-5) via DH-485 without additional gateways.
- Existing Application Compatibility: Retains compatibility with legacy PanelBuilder 32 application files, eliminating costly reprogramming.
- Spare Parts Availability: Konmask maintains sourced stock of tested units to support MRO and emergency replacement needs.
- Lower Total Cost for Legacy Lines: Replacing with the original model avoids PLC firmware upgrades and HMI application migration costs.
Typical Applications
- Discrete manufacturing machine control panels
- Automotive assembly line operator stations
- Food & beverage processing line HMI
- Packaging machinery operator interfaces
- Water/wastewater SCADA local operator panels
- OEM machine retrofits and MRO replacements
System Compatibility
| PLC Family | Protocol | Compatible |
|---|---|---|
| SLC 500 | DH-485 | ✔ Native |
| MicroLogix 1000/1100/1400 | DH-485 / RS-232 DF1 | ✔ Native |
| PLC-5 | DH+ (via 1785-KA5 gateway) | ✔ With gateway |
| ControlLogix / CompactLogix | Ethernet/IP | ✗ Not supported (use PanelView Plus) |
| Third-party PLCs | RS-232 DF1 | ⚠ Protocol-dependent |
Selection Guide
Use the decision tree below to determine whether the 2711-T10C8L1 or an alternative model best fits your application:
- Existing DH-485 network + SLC 500/MicroLogix + PanelBuilder 32 application? → Order 2711-T10C8L1 (original replacement)
- Need Ethernet/IP connectivity or ControlLogix integration? → Upgrade to 2711P-T10C4D8 (PanelView Plus 1000)
- Require modern web-based configuration and higher resolution? → Consider 2711P-T10C21D8S (PanelView Plus 7)
- Budget-constrained retrofit with multi-brand PLC environment? → Evaluate Weintek MT8102iE or Proface GP4501TW
- Long-term greenfield project requiring future scalability? → Specify 2715-T10CD (PanelView 5500)

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the 2711-T10C8L1 still in production?
A: This model has been discontinued by Rockwell Automation. Konmask supplies tested surplus and refurbished units to support ongoing MRO requirements.
Q: Can I use a PanelView Plus 1000 (2711P-T10C4D8) as a direct replacement?
A: The PanelView Plus 1000 uses the same 10.4″ panel cutout and supports DH-485, making it a viable upgrade. However, application files must be migrated from PanelBuilder 32 to FactoryTalk View ME software.
Q: What is the panel cutout dimension for the 2711-T10C8L1?
A: The standard panel cutout is 310 mm × 248 mm (W × H). Verify against your enclosure before ordering a replacement.
Q: Does Konmask provide a warranty on refurbished units?
A: Yes. All refurbished units carry a 12-month warranty covering functional defects. Units are tested prior to shipment.
Q: Can this terminal communicate with a ControlLogix PLC?
A: The 2711-T10C8L1 does not natively support Ethernet/IP. For ControlLogix systems, we recommend upgrading to the PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus 7 series.
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: In-stock units typically ship within 1–3 business days. Lead time for sourced units is quoted individually. Contact us for current availability.
