FAQ

Question?

What software is required to program the 2711-B6C2L1?

The 2711-B6C2L1 is programmed using Rockwell's PanelBuilder32 software. It is important to ensure you have a version compatible with the terminal's firmware (FRN 4.46).

Is the DH-485 communication protocol compatible with modern networks like EtherNet/IP?

No, DH-485 is a legacy serial protocol. To connect to an EtherNet/IP network, you would need a protocol converter or gateway, such as a 1761-NET-ENI or a similar device.

Can the backlight (CCFL) be replaced on this model?

Yes, the backlight is a field-replaceable component. However, the replacement requires careful disassembly, and sourcing new original lamps for this obsolete model can be challenging.
