Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A20 is a PanelView 550 standard operator terminal designed for machine-level monitoring and process control. This operator terminal is powered by an external 85-264V AC supply voltage and has a 5.5-inch display with embedded Ethernet communication and RS232 printer ports. The 2711-B5A20 is part of the now obsolete Bulletin 2711 PanelView Standard Operator Terminal product family. This used unit is fully functional and ideal for replacement in existing automation systems.
Key Features
- 5.5-inch monochrome LCD Blue Mode display with 120 x 60 mm effective display area and 256 x 128 pixel resolution
- Ten (10) Function keys and a Touchscreen operator interface, with keypad and confirmation keys rated for up to 1 million actuations
- EtherNet/IP Communication and RS-232 Printer Port for direct controller interfacing and alarm documentation
- 85-264V AC power supply with 47-63 Hz frequency range, 170KB of RAM and 240KB of non-volatile memory
- Customers can load their program onto the unit in .PVA format using Panelbuilder 32 software or a memory card
- Series H model with internal backlight for enhanced visibility
Technical Specifications
Operating on 85-264V AC supply voltage, the unit features a 5.5-inch monochrome display with embedded Ethernet communication and RS-232 printer ports. The keypad with function keys F1 to F10, directional keys, and confirmation keys are rated for up to 1 million actuations. Memory includes 170KB of RAM and 240KB of non-volatile memory. For industrially approved installation, mount in NEMA Type 12/13, 4X (Indoor use only), IP54 and IP65 or equivalent rated enclosures. The ideal ambient temperature range is 0-55°C (32-131°F).
Typical Applications
This product is primarily used to implement factory-floor level monitoring and control and capable of directly interfacing with controllers and other devices via the embedded Ethernet communication interface. Common uses include manufacturing process visualization, real-time operator feedback, alarm management, and integration with Rockwell Automation controller systems. Connections to other machines are possible by using the RS-232 and the Ethernet/IP ports, and a printer can also be connected to the display terminal by using the RS-232 port.
