Product Spotlights
As a trusted supplier in the industrial automation sector, Rossonix Co., Limited is proud to offer the Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A10 PanelView 550 Monochrome Terminal. With over a decade of experience since our establishment in 2011 and a strong global footprint, we understand the critical need for reliable, durable human-machine interface (HMI) solutions. This specific model combines a keypad and touchscreen interface with robust RIO and RS-232 connectivity, providing a versatile and cost-effective control point for a wide range of industrial applications. It represents a proven solution for operators seeking a straightforward, resilient interface to monitor and manage automated processes.
The PanelView 550 terminal is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Its core design focuses on delivering clear operational feedback and reliable control, making it an asset for system integrators and plant managers.
Dual-Input Interface: The unit features both a tactile membrane keypad and a resistive touchscreen. This dual-method input offers exceptional flexibility, allowing operators to use the method most suited to the task or environmental conditions, such as wearing gloves.
Rugged Monochrome Display: The high-contrast monochrome LCD provides excellent readability in various lighting conditions, from low-light areas to brightly lit factory floors. It is designed for longevity and clarity, reducing operator eye strain.
Versatile Communication: Equipped with both Remote I/O (RIO) and RS-232 serial ports, this terminal offers flexible integration options. The RIO interface allows for direct connection to Allen-Bradley PLCs on a remote I/O network, while the RS-232 port can be used for printer connectivity, modem communication, or interfacing with other serial devices.
Compact and Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the terminal features a NEMA 4X (IP65) rated front panel, making it resistant to water, dust, and oil sprays. Its compact form factor saves valuable panel space.
Easy Configuration and Integration: The terminal is programmed using Rockwell Automation's PanelBuilder32 software, a familiar tool for engineers working within the Allen-Bradley ecosystem, facilitating quicker project development and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between this key & touch model and a touch-only PanelView?
A1: The key & touch model provides two independent input methods. The physical keypad offers tactile feedback and is operable with gloves or in wet conditions, while the touchscreen allows for intuitive navigation. This dual functionality offers greater operational flexibility.
Q2: Can this terminal communicate with non-Allen-Bradley PLCs?
A2: The primary RIO network is designed for Allen-Bradley PLCs. However, the RS-232 port can be configured for serial communication (e.g., DF1 protocol) with other devices, though additional configuration and protocol support may be required.
Q3: What software is needed to create application screens for this HMI?
A3: You need Rockwell Automation's PanelBuilder32 software (version 3.83 or later is commonly used). This software is used to design the operator interface, define tags, and configure communication settings before downloading to the terminal.
Q4: Is the display backlit, and is it suitable for low-light areas?
A4: Yes, the monochrome LCD features a backlight with adjustable intensity. This, combined with the high-contrast display, ensures clear visibility in both low-light and normally lit industrial settings.
Q5: What are the mounting dimensions for this unit?
A5: The PanelView 550 requires a panel cutout of approximately 211 x 158 mm (8.31 x 6.22 inches). Detailed dimensional drawings are available upon request to ensure a proper fit during panel design.
Q6: Do you provide technical support or documentation for this product?
A6: Yes, we can provide access to product datasheets, user manuals, and installation guides. For complex integration questions, our technical team can offer basic guidance, though in-depth programming support typically relies on the system integrator's expertise with PanelBuilder32.
Q7: What is the typical lead time for this item?
A7: As a trading company with established supply channels, we generally maintain stock or can source this model efficiently. Specific lead times depend on current inventory and order quantity, which can be confirmed upon inquiry.
Q8: Are replacement parts like keypad overlays or communication cables available?
A8: Yes, various accessories and replacement parts for the PanelView series, including specific communication cables (e.g., RIO cables, serial cables) and protective overlays, are available. Please inquire for specific part numbers and availability.
