Two used industrial HMIs are in front of you, and only one should go into your panel. The Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Ser B Industrial HMI Touchscreen 2711P-T12W21D8S and the USED - Maple Systems HMI5070L 7-inch Industrial Touchscreen are both used units, and $600 separates their asking prices. Do you spend up for the PanelView Plus 7 color display, or keep the budget down with the Maple Systems unit?
If you are wiring HMIs into PLC panels, the choice often comes down to budget, display type, and how much wear you can accept. Both units are used, so neither should be treated as factory-fresh.
Quick Verdict
If you need the PanelView Plus 7 platform and can live with a used, worn front face, the Allen Bradley is the better fit despite the higher price. If keeping costs low matters more, the Maple Systems HMI5070L is the more practical choice. The $600 gap is the whole story: the right pick depends on whether that extra spending buys the display and model family you actually need.

Where Each Product Wins
Where the Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 wins: The Allen Bradley unit is the pick when the color display and the PanelView Plus 7 model family are worth $600 more to you. The specific 2711P-T12W21D8S model number makes it easy to reference, and the 2018 build and United States origin add useful context. This is not a clean panel: the screen has visible scratches, scuffs, and bezel wear, so condition should be part of the decision.
Where the Maple Systems HMI5070L wins: The Maple Systems unit wins on price and footprint. It costs $600 less than the Allen Bradley, making it a sensible candidate for a spare screen or a compact control panel. The tradeoff is a restrictive sale: it comes with only what is shown in the pictures, no extra accessories or components, and no return is allowed. As long as the pictured unit fits your needs, the lower price is hard to argue with.
Product Notes
Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Ser B Industrial HMI Touchscreen 2711P-T12W21D8S
The Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Ser B pairs a color display with the PanelView Plus 7 platform and gives you a clear model reference in 2711P-T12W21D8S. For a used unit, the $600 price premium over the Maple Systems touchscreen is the key consideration: you are paying for the display platform, not for a clean front face. The screen shows visible scratches and scuffs, and the bezel has cosmetic wear, so the condition could matter if your panel is customer-facing. If the wear is acceptable and the color display is what you need, the higher price makes sense; if not, the lower-priced option becomes more attractive.
Maple Systems HMI5070L 7-inch Industrial Touchscreen
The Maple Systems HMI5070L is a 7-inch industrial touchscreen with a listed price of USD 199.99. That puts it $600 below the Allen Bradley and makes it the natural choice when budget and a compact footprint lead the decision. The catch is in the details: the sale covers only what the pictures show, with no accessories or extra components included, and the sale is final. If you are buying a spare screen or a bench test unit, the final-sale terms are easier to accept. If you need the flexibility of a return, the Maple Systems option could feel restrictive.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Ser B if the PanelView Plus 7 platform and color display are exactly what your panel needs, and if visible cosmetic wear does not bother you. It is the higher-priced unit by $600, so be deliberate about that decision.
Choose the Maple Systems HMI5070L if you want a used touchscreen at the low end of the price range and can accept a final sale with only the pictured items included. It is the right call for a spare, a small panel, or a tight budget.
