Hello,
I recently received two 2711-K10G8 PanelView standard HMIs. One was repaired for us, the other we purchased from the company that did the repair on the first unit. I received both units with self-check 31 errors. I know this means a stuck input, and since they are both K10 units, it has to be a key somewhere (there are only 36 possibilities).
I discovered that if i press on the black overlay between the display and the numeric keypad, the "stuck key" seems to be unstuck and I can boot the HMI up like normal. On one unit I can see that it thinks the F13 key is being pressed. If I press on the overlay between the numeric keypad and the arrow keys, I can actually toggle the F13 key.
It is very likely that the displays have been replaced. The overlay does seem to stick out ever so slightly around the display. If these were touch screen models, I would definitely be concerned about creating extra pressure on the resistive input panel. Since I have never replaced one of these myself, I don't really know what is going on underneath the overlay. Is it possible that this slight elevation is causing all of my problems? Is there something I can do to alleviate the problem? I am waiting for a tech to call me back, but I have a feeling that the conversation is going to result in getting an RMA, and having to wait on a third unit to arrive.
