PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A10L1 is a PanelView 550 Mono/Touch/Keypad terminal in the PanelView series. It operates using an external nominal 24V DC power supply with an input range of 18 to 32V DC. The terminal features a 5.5-inch monochrome blue mode LCD screen with 256 by 128 resolution. Its active display area measures 120 by 60 millimeters. The unit provides dual operator input via a membrane keypad and a 128-cell touch screen.
Internal memory includes 170 KB of application runtime RAM and 240 KB of nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile flash storage retains application objects, text, and graphic bitmaps. Network communication is handled through an integrated DeviceNet port. A dedicated RS-232 port provides connection for an external alarm and message printer. The display backlight offers an estimated operating life of 100,000 hours. Configuration and screen design are managed using PanelBuilder32 programming software.
