PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2715-T7CA is an operator terminal in the PanelView 5500 series. This interface connects to Logix controllers over an EtherNet/IP network. The unit features a 6.5-inch color TFT liquid crystal display with 640 x 480 VGA resolution. Operators navigate screens using an analog resistive touchscreen and a physical menu-navigation button. Visual animated graphic and text displays present machine and process operating states.
The terminal operates on an alternating-current line input from 100 to 240 VAC. Internal hardware includes 512 MB RAM and 250 MB nonvolatile project storage. Dual 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports support Device Level Ring, linear, and star network topologies. Configuration is managed through the Rockwell Studio 5000 View Designer application. The terminal connects to ControlLogix 5570 and CompactLogix L1, L2, or L3 controllers.
