2711-T10C1 PanelView 1000 Specs & Replacement Guide

Michael Chen - Expert from Rabwell PLC's Team Published: May 08, 2026

The Allen-Bradley 2711-T10C1 is a classic PanelView 1000 operator terminal, a 10.4-inch color touchscreen HMI used through the late 1990s and 2000s on SLC 500, ControlLogix, and CompactLogix-driven machines. It runs PanelBuilder32 application files and remains in service on a large installed base of US plant equipment.

Because the original PanelView 1000 hardware is end-of-life, most replacement work today involves either swapping a working used unit, or migrating to a PanelView Plus 7 / Plus 6 form-factor equivalent that retains the 10-inch cutout. This page covers the specs of the original 2711-T10C1 and the current spare and migration paths Rabwellplc keeps in stock.

The "T" in the catalog number indicates a touch-only unit (no keypad), and the trailing "C1" identifies the Remote I/O network port. Other PanelView 1000 catalogs cover the same hardware with different network options: C3 = DH-485, C8 = DH+, C10 = DeviceNet, C15 = ControlNet, C16 = RS-232 (DF1), and C20 = EtherNet/IP. The maintenance RS-232 port for application download is present on every 1000-class PanelView regardless of the network suffix.

PanelView Standard 1000 (DF1) 2711-T10C16 10.4 in color VGA RS-232 DF1 End of life
PanelView Plus 1000 2711P-T10C4D8 10.4 in color SVGA EtherNet/IP, RS-232 Active (legacy)
PanelView Plus 6 1000 2711P-T10C22D9P 10.4 in color EtherNet/IP, USB Active
PanelView Plus 7 Performance 10" 2711P-T10C22D8S 10.4 in color, multi-touch EtherNet/IP dual Active, current

If you are doing a like-for-like replacement and you can keep the existing PanelBuilder32 application running, a tested 2711-T10C1 is the cleanest option. If the project allows for a controls upgrade, the 2711P-T10C22D8S PanelView Plus 7 fits a similar 10-inch cutout and runs FactoryTalk View ME applications, which is the current Rockwell tool chain.

Common Pairings and Compatible Components

  • PLC-5 processors with native Remote I/O scanner.
  • SLC 500 chassis with a 1747-SN RIO scanner module.
  • ControlLogix via the 1756-DHRIO scanner channel configured for Remote I/O.
  • RIO network cable: Belden 9463 twinaxial ("blue hose"), with 82-ohm termination resistors at each end of the trunk.
  • Programming cable: 2711-NC13 / 2711-NC14 (RS-232 from PC to the PanelView maintenance port for PanelBuilder32 download).
  • PanelBuilder32 software for editing the .pba application file.
  • Replacement bezel and gasket kit for refreshing the front seal during a rebuild.

Common Use Cases

  • PLC-5 / SLC 500 RIO drop: showing tag-based status, alarm banners, and recipe selection on a Remote I/O network anchor.
  • Standalone machine HMI on injection moulders, packaging lines, and material-handling skids.
  • Replacement after touch-screen failure, the most common end-of-life mode for PanelView 1000.
  • Migration starting point: bench-test the existing .pba file, then convert to FactoryTalk View ME for a Plus 7 deployment.
  • Spare in critical-machine inventory for plants that cannot tolerate even one shift of downtime while a Plus 7 migration is planned.

Why Buy Your 2711-T10C1 Replacement from Rabwellplc

Most of our 2711-T10C1 demand is replacement-driven. We carry tested classic PanelView 1000 units when they come through, plus current PanelView Plus 6 and Plus 7 spares for migration projects, all under our Allen-Bradley program. Each unit ships bench-checked with the touchscreen, backlight, and serial port verified. If your project is moving to ControlLogix or CompactLogix, our application desk can match the HMI to the right 1756 ControlLogix or CompactLogix CPU at the same time.

Send your existing PanelBuilder32 application file and we will tell you whether a like-for-like swap or a Plus 7 migration is the better path for your shutdown window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 2711-T10C1 still manufactured?
No. The PanelView 1000 classic series is discontinued. Replacement is by tested used units or by migration to PanelView Plus 6 / 7.

Can a PanelView Plus 7 drop into the same panel cutout as a 2711-T10C1?
The 10-inch PanelView Plus 7 and Plus 6 are designed to fit the same nominal 10-inch HMI cutout, but the exact bezel profile and stud pattern differ slightly. Always check the dimensional drawing against your panel before committing to the swap.

What software is needed to edit the application?
PanelBuilder32 for the original .pba file. To migrate to a PanelView Plus, the application must be converted to FactoryTalk View ME using the Rockwell legacy import tool, then cleaned up by hand.

Which PLCs does the C1 network port support?
The C1 suffix designates Remote I/O. It connects natively to PLC-5 processors and to SLC 500 chassis equipped with a 1747-SN RIO scanner. ControlLogix systems join via a 1756-DHRIO module configured for Remote I/O. The C1 network does not support EtherNet/IP, DH-485, or DF1; those are different catalog suffixes (C20, C3, and C16 respectively) or a PanelView Plus.

How long can I expect a tested used 2711-T10C1 to last?
Realistically, a few years of reliable service if it has a solid backlight and clean touch overlay, but the platform itself is end-of-life. We recommend planning a PanelView Plus migration in parallel with any classic PanelView replacement.
