Why Choose the Original Model
- Native Rockwell Integration: Seamless communication with Allen-Bradley MicroLogix, SLC 500, and CompactLogix PLCs via DH-485 without additional gateways.
- PanelView Component Designer: Dedicated, no-cost programming software with pre-built tag libraries for AB controllers.
- Proven Reliability: Widely deployed in OEM machinery, packaging lines, and process equipment globally.
- NEMA 4/4X Rating: Suitable for washdown and harsh industrial environments.
- Compact Footprint: Ideal for small panel doors and machine-mounted enclosures.
- Long Field History: Extensive spare parts availability and documented troubleshooting resources.
Typical Applications
- Machine-level operator interface for OEM equipment
- Packaging and labeling machinery
- Conveyor and material handling systems
- Pump and motor control panels
- HVAC and building automation panels
- Food & beverage processing lines (washdown environments)
- Water treatment and utility control stations
System Compatibility
The 2711C-T4T communicates natively with the following Allen-Bradley controller families via RS-232/RS-485 (DH-485 protocol):
- MicroLogix 1000 / 1100 / 1200 / 1400 / 1500
- SLC 500 series (5/03, 5/04, 5/05)
- CompactLogix (via DF1 or DH-485 port)
- PLC-5 (via DF1 serial)
For Ethernet/IP or EtherNet-based architectures, consider upgrading to the PanelView Plus 7 (2711P series) for native EtherNet/IP support.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the 2711C-T4T replace a 2711C-T4M directly?
A: Yes, the T4T (color) and T4M (monochrome) share the same form factor and communication ports. The application program must be re-downloaded to the replacement unit.
Q: Is the 2711C-T4T compatible with CompactLogix via Ethernet?
A: No. The 2711C-T4T uses serial (RS-232/DH-485) only. For Ethernet/IP connectivity, use the PanelView Plus 7 (2711P) series.
Q: Can I use a Weintek HMI as a drop-in replacement?
A: Functionally yes, but it requires re-programming in Weintek’s EasyBuilder Pro software and may require a panel cutout adapter. Contact us for a compatibility assessment.
Q: What software is needed to program the 2711C-T4T?
A: PanelView Component Designer, available as a free download from Rockwell Automation’s website.
Q: Do you provide programming or commissioning support?
A: We can provide wiring diagrams and configuration guides. For on-site commissioning, please contact us to discuss project requirements.
Q: What is the difference between 2711C-T4T Series A and Series B?
A: Series B includes minor hardware revisions for improved reliability. Both are functionally interchangeable for most applications. Specify your series requirement when ordering if critical.
