Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between this PanelView 550 and a color touchscreen model?
A1: The primary distinction is the display. This model uses a monochrome (black and white or amber) LCD, which often offers higher contrast and better readability in direct sunlight or under bright lights compared to some color screens. It is also a cost-effective solution for applications where color is not a functional requirement.
Q2: Can I connect this terminal to a non-Allen-Bradley PLC?
A2: While optimized for Allen-Bradley controllers via the DF1 protocol, the standard RS-232 port can be configured to communicate with other devices that support serial communication, though specific driver support within PanelBuilder32 should be verified for compatibility.
Q3: Is the touch screen compatible with gloved operation?
A3: The resistive touch screen can be activated with pressure, making it generally usable with most types of gloves. However, for optimal reliability, thin or conductive-tipped gloves are recommended over very thick, insulated ones.
Q4: What software is needed to create application screens for this unit?
A4: You will need Rockwell Automation's PanelBuilder32 software. This software allows you to design the operator interface, define tags for PLC communication, and download the application to the PanelView terminal.
Q5: Does this model support Ethernet communication?
A5: No, the 2711-B5A16 is equipped with serial communication ports (DF1 and RS232) only. For Ethernet connectivity, other models within the PanelView family would be required.
Q6: What is the typical lifespan of this industrial terminal?
A6: When installed in its rated environment, the PanelView 550 is designed for long-term reliability. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is typically high, often exceeding tens of thousands of hours, thanks to its robust components and sealed design.
Q7: Are replacement parts like the keypad membrane available?
A7: Yes, certain consumable parts like the protective overlay for the touch screen and keypad are available as spare parts. It is advisable to consult with your supplier for specific part numbers and availability.
Q8: Can the display be viewed clearly in outdoor settings?
A8: The high-contrast monochrome LCD performs well in brightly lit conditions. However, for direct, prolonged outdoor sunlight, an optional sun hood or high-brightness version (if available for the model) might be considered for optimal viewing.
