PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8X is a PanelView operator interface terminal built for industrial process visualization and control. It integrates a 5.3-inch monochrome liquid crystal display featuring a native resolution of 256 by 128 pixels. Operator interaction is supported through both a touchscreen interface and ten dedicated function keys labeled F1 through F10. The terminal incorporates approximately 170 KB of internal application memory to store user screens and configured tag databases.
Communication to host automation controllers is executed across an integrated Data Highway Plus network connection. The unit requires a nominal 24V DC operating power source for standard panel operation. Panel mounting configurations support physical installation across standard enclosure cutouts. The front bezel meets IP54 and IP65 standards along with NEMA 12, 13, and indoor 4X ratings. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius to handle diverse control cabinet environments.
