Choosing between these four listings starts with one question: do you want the screen and the logic in the same box, or do you already have the processing side covered? The range runs from a compact 5-inch HMI PLC at $95.99 to a new PanelView 800 trainer kit at $949.99. In between are a standalone Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 processor and a used PanelView Plus 7 touchscreen. Each one solves a different part of the automation puzzle, so the right choice depends on whether you are building a small machine, teaching CCW programming, or working with the MicroLogix 1000 family.
Quick take
If you are choosing between a standalone PLC and an integrated HMI, the first question is how much you want inside one box. The MicroLogix 1000 1761-L32BWB is a 24V DC PLC processor with 32 total I/O but no screen. The PanelView 800 Trainer is a new 7-inch Ethernet HMI kit that includes a swivel base, power supply, cable, and manuals. The PanelView Plus 7 Ser B is a used color touchscreen HMI with visible scratches and scuffs. The 5-inch HMI PLC is an all-in-one logic and display unit at the low end of the price range. These four listings cover very different workflows, so pick the one that matches the hardware you already have.

Decision matrix
- Need a processor only for a MicroLogix 1000-style panel? The 1761-L32BWB module is the direct processor choice.
- Want a complete HMI training kit? The PanelView 800 Trainer bundles the 7-inch Ethernet HMI with the base, power supply, cable, and manuals.
- Need a color touchscreen HMI? The used PanelView Plus 7 Ser B is the touch panel option in this lineup.
- Need an HMI and PLC in one compact unit? The 5-inch HMI PLC is the all-in-one option.
Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 Processor Module 1761-L32BWB
If your control panel already has an HMI, this New - Open box MicroLogix 1000 module is the direct fit for a 24V DC PLC. It provides 20 digital inputs, 12 relay outputs, and an RS-232 port, for 32 total I/O in a compact package. The title notes the module is UNUSED, and the condition is listed as New - Open box, so the processor itself is ready to install. The limitation is that there is no built-in display and the 1 KB EEPROM memory will suit smaller programs rather than large-scale projects. Choose it when you need a specific MicroLogix 1000 processor and already have the rest of the panel sorted.
Allen Bradley PanelView 800 Trainer 2711R-T7T
This is the most complete HMI training setup among the four listings. The PanelView 800 Trainer includes a 7-inch Ethernet color HMI on a swivel base, plus a power supply, Ethernet cable, and manuals. The listing labels it a programmable CCW HMI training kit, so it is designed to work with the CCW programming environment. You will need to supply your own computer and an Ethernet switch or router to set a static IP. There is no PLC logic processor in this kit, so it should be paired with a separate controller. If you want a ready-to-use HMI workstation in the Allen-Bradley family, this kit gives you the hardware in one package.
Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Ser B 2711P-T12W21D8S
This used PanelView Plus 7 Ser B is a color touchscreen HMI with an MPN of 2711P-T12W21D8S. The listing is clear that the screen has visible scratches and scuffs and the bezel shows cosmetic wear, so it is not a like-new display. It is a used unit rather than an open-box or new panel. If you need a PanelView Plus 7 touchscreen for a panel and are comfortable with surface wear, this is the way to get that form factor without paying for the trainer kit. Remember that it is an HMI only and does not provide PLC processing, so a separate controller is still required.
PLC Controller with 5-Inch HMI Touch Screen
The most compact option here combines a programmable logic controller and a 5-inch HMI touch screen in one box. It is listed as new and comes from a Shenzhen automation manufacturer that focuses on PLC, HMI, and servo products. The unit has 9 inputs, 8 relay outputs, and 2-axis pulse output up to 100 kHz for stepper or servo control. It runs FX1S-compatible PLC projects and works with GX Works2/Developer software for programming. The trade-off is that you are getting a single all-in-one unit rather than a modular Allen-Bradley setup, so the logic and display are not separate. This makes it a practical choice for small packaging, labeling, and positioning machines.
Final recommendation by use case
- Standalone PLC module: Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 1761-L32BWB at $299.00 for a 24V DC processor with 32 I/O.
- Training HMI kit: Allen Bradley PanelView 800 Trainer 2711R-T7T at $949.99 if you want the complete PanelView 800 training station.
- Used touchscreen HMI: Allen Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Ser B 2711P-T12W21D8S at $799.99 if you can accept a color display with visible scratches and scuffs.
- Compact integrated logic and display: PLC Controller 5-inch HMI Touch Screen at $95.99 if you want the PLC and HMI in one small unit.
