Proven Application Environments
- Discrete Manufacturing: Machine tool control panels, assembly line operator stations, and press control interfaces requiring reliable keypad input and clear status display.
- Material Handling: Conveyor system HMI nodes, palletizer control stations, and sortation system operator interfaces integrated with SLC 500 or PLC-5 controllers.
- Process Control: Batch process monitoring stations, pump and valve control panels, and utility management systems on DH-485 networks.
- Food & Beverage: NEMA 4/4X-rated front panel suits washdown-adjacent environments requiring splash resistance and hygienic panel design.
- Automotive: Legacy production line HMI replacement in facilities running established Allen-Bradley DH+ backbones where network migration is not feasible.
- Water & Wastewater: Remote pump station operator terminals and SCADA-adjacent local control panels in outdoor enclosures.
Engineering Advantages
- Network Compatibility: Native DH-485 and DH+ support eliminates the need for protocol converters or network bridges when integrating with SLC 500, PLC-5, and MicroLogix controllers.
- Keypad Reliability: Tactile keypad input is preferred in high-vibration or gloved-hand environments where touchscreen accuracy is compromised.
- Large Display Area: 10.4″ VGA display provides ample screen real estate for multi-tag status pages, alarm lists, and trend displays without operator eye strain.
- NEMA 4/4X Front Rating: Suitable for panel-mount installation in environments exposed to dust, oil mist, and directed water spray.
- Non-Volatile Memory: Application programs are retained without battery backup, reducing maintenance overhead in remote installations.
- Proven Platform Longevity: PanelView 1000 series has a multi-decade installed base, ensuring continued availability of spare parts, programming tools, and engineering expertise.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 2711-K10G1 connects to the host PLC via the DH-485 or DH+ network port. The operator terminal acts as a network node, polling tag data from the connected controller at configurable scan rates. Application screens are developed offline using PanelBuilder 1400e or PanelBuilder32 software and downloaded to the terminal via the programming port. Operator inputs (keypad presses, numeric entries) are written back to PLC data table addresses in real time. The terminal supports multiple screen types including control, display, alarm, and diagnostic screens, all configured within the PanelBuilder application file (.PBA format). No intermediate gateway or communication module is required for DH-485 or DH+ network topologies.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
All 2711-K10G1 units supplied by Konmask.com are sourced from verified industrial surplus channels and authorized refurbishers. Each unit undergoes the following verification process before dispatch:

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 2711-K10G1 compatible with ControlLogix or CompactLogix controllers?
A: The 2711-K10G1 communicates via DH-485 and DH+, which are not natively supported by ControlLogix/CompactLogix without a 1761-NET-AIC or similar bridge module. For Logix5000 platforms, consider the PanelView Plus series with EtherNet/IP.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: PanelBuilder 1400e (legacy) or PanelBuilder32 (recommended). Both are available from Rockwell Automation’s software portal. Konmask.com can advise on software sourcing upon request.
Q: Can the display backlight be replaced?
A: Yes. The CCFL backlight assembly is a field-replaceable component. Konmask.com can supply replacement backlight kits for the PanelView 1000 series.
Q: What is the difference between the K and T series PanelView 1000?
A: The “K” suffix denotes keypad input; the “T” suffix denotes touchscreen input. The 2711-K10G1 is keypad-only. Both share the same display size and communication options.
Q: Is a warranty provided?
A: All units supplied by Konmask.com carry a 90-day functional warranty covering power-on operation and communication port functionality. Physical damage caused during installation is excluded.
Q: What is the lead time for the 2711-K10G1?
A: Subject to current stock levels. In-stock units typically ship within 1–3 business days. Contact [email protected] for real-time availability.
