Key Features & Performance
With a 350 MHz NEC VR5532A MIPS processor, the 2711P-K6M1A delivers responsive performance for graphical applications. It offers 64MB RAM and 64MB non-volatile memory for storing user applications and settings. The 5.7-inch passive matrix FSTN display provides a 320 x 240 resolution with 32-level grayscale, ensuring clear visibility. The keypad is rated for 1 million presses and withstands 340G shock, making it suitable for rugged industrial use.
Communication & Connectivity
The 2711P-K6M1A includes a USB 1.1 port for programming and peripheral connections, along with base-configured RS-232 and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. For enhanced connectivity, it supports Remote I/O (RIO) via a compatible modular communication module, allowing seamless integration into existing automation networks.
Installation & Setup
When installing the 2711P-K6M1A, ensure a clean, dry location with adequate clearance for ventilation. Mount the terminal securely using the provided panel cutout. Connect the AC power supply (85-264V AC, 47-63 Hz) through an external SELV-isolated source rated at 120VA. Configure the communication ports according to your network requirements, and use the USB port for initial programming.
Maintenance & Reliability
To maximize service life, keep the unit free from dust and moisture. The CCFL backlight has a rated life of 50,000 hours. Regularly inspect the keypad and display for wear. The unit operates in temperatures from 32-131 °F and 5-95% humidity (non-condensing). Its enclosure meets NEMA Type 12, 13, 4X, IP54, and IP65 (dust-tight) standards, providing protection in harsh environments.
