Functional Features
Keypad data entry and screen navigation.
Color graphics for alarms, trends, and process values.
DH-485 upload/download with PanelBuilder32.
Printer reporting through dedicated serial port.
NEMA/IP sealed front for industrial panels.
Material Composition and Structure
Sealed steel/plastic bezel, color TFT module, keypad membrane with domed stainless contacts, internal power supply, communication PCB, and rear connector housing.
Working Principle
The terminal polls/project-executes HMI screens stored in nonvolatile memory. Keypad input and PLC data update screen objects. DH-485 messaging exchanges tags with the controller; printer port outputs reports independently.
Installation Requirements
Cut panel aperture to 2711-K6C9 dimensions. Use NEMA gasket for 4X/IP65 front seal. Supply 24 VDC nominal with margin for 34 W. Connect DH-485 to SLC/PLC with correct node settings. Use PanelBuilder32 for application transfer.
Usage Notes
Confirm DH-485 versus DH+ requirement before replacement; this catalog number is DH-485 keypad. Replace backlight according to half-life rating. Do not operate above 50°C ambient. Maintain spare application file for reload after memory replacement.
