Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the 2711P-K4M5D. Always verify communication protocol, display type, and panel cutout dimensions before substituting.
- 2711P-T4M5D — PanelView Plus 400, same series, touchscreen variant (drop-in replacement with panel cutout modification)
- 2711P-K4C5D — PanelView Plus 400, color display, keypad input (upgrade path)
- 2711P-T4C5D — PanelView Plus 400, color touchscreen (full upgrade)
- 2711-K4A2 — Legacy PanelView 550 Keypad (older generation, requires application migration)
- 2711P-K4M5A8 — PanelView Plus 400 with AC power input variant
- Siemens KTP400 Basic — Third-party equivalent for new installations; requires TIA Portal and protocol adaptation
- Weintek MT6050i — Cost-effective third-party alternative; supports EtherNet/IP with driver configuration
Note: Third-party replacements require engineering validation. Contact Konmask for compatibility assessment.

- OEM machine builders requiring compact, cost-effective HMI solutions
- Retrofit and modernization of legacy PanelView 550/600 installations
System Compatibility
- Rockwell PLCs: ControlLogix (1756), CompactLogix (1769), MicroLogix (1100/1400), SLC 500, PLC-5
- Networks: EtherNet/IP, DH-485, DF1 (RS-232), DeviceNet (with communication module)
- Software: FactoryTalk View ME v5.0 and above; RSView ME (legacy)
- Panel Cutout: Compatible with standard PanelView Plus 400 cutout template (refer to Rockwell installation drawing)
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the 2711P-K4M5D is the right choice, or to select an appropriate alternative:
- Display preference: Choose K4M5D for keypad-only operation; choose T4M5D if touchscreen is preferred
- Color vs. grayscale: M = Grayscale; C = Color — upgrade to 2711P-K4C5D for color display
- Communication protocol: Confirm your PLC network (EtherNet/IP vs. DH-485) before ordering
- Power supply: Standard model is 24 VDC; confirm panel power availability
- Environment: IP65 front panel is suitable for most industrial environments; verify if higher ingress protection is required
- Budget vs. OEM: For new installations with no legacy constraints, third-party HMIs may reduce cost; for existing Rockwell systems, OEM replacement is recommended

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace 2711P-K4M5D with 2711P-T4M5D directly?
A: Yes, the application file is compatible. However, the panel cutout dimensions differ slightly for the touchscreen variant. Verify the cutout template before installation.
Q: Is the 2711P-K4M5D compatible with ControlLogix PLCs?
A: Yes, via EtherNet/IP or DF1 serial communication. Ensure the correct communication module is installed and the FactoryTalk View ME project is configured accordingly.
Q: Can I use a Siemens or Weintek HMI as a replacement?
A: Functionally possible for new installations, but requires full application re-development in the respective software (TIA Portal / EasyBuilder Pro). Not recommended for direct drop-in replacement in existing Rockwell systems.
Q: What software do I need to program the 2711P-K4M5D?
A: FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME). Legacy projects created in RSView ME are also compatible.
Q: Do you provide programming or technical support?
A: We provide hardware supply and basic technical guidance. For application programming support, we can refer you to qualified Rockwell system integrators.
Q: What is the lead time for the 2711P-K4M5D?
A: Stock availability varies. Contact us for real-time inventory status. Typical lead time for in-stock units is 3–7 business days internationally.
