More Information

Overview Manuals DH+ Integration Operator Controls Replacement Fit Application
  • PanelView Standard 550 terminal with combined keypad and touch input
  • Monochrome 256 × 128 display supports machine visualization and alarm handling
  • Data Highway Plus and a separate RS-232 printer port serve different communication roles

2711-B5A8 provides physical function keys and a touch grid for operator interaction in a compact PanelView Standard installation.

Its A8 communication configuration uses Data Highway Plus for controller data and retains a dedicated RS-232 path for supported printer functions.

Replacement planning should preserve the PanelBuilder32 application, network identity, printer setup, keypad assignments, touch calibration, memory card, AC wiring, and mechanical installation.

Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for 2711-B5A8 are confirmed during quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.

  • Record the DH+ node and data rate before removing the installed terminal
  • Inspect blue-hose polarity, shielding, trunk connections, and termination
  • Validate the restored route against the controller and PanelBuilder32 projects
  • Retain the function-key assignments expected by the machine instructions
  • Calibrate and test the touch grid after restoring the application
  • Check numeric entry, navigation, alarms, and acknowledgement behavior
  • Rockwell Automation lists 2711P-T6C21D8S as the primary migration option for 2711-B5A8
  • The replacement uses touch input, DC power, and Ethernet rather than the original keypad-and-touch, AC-power, and DH+ configuration
  • The original 144 × 243 mm cutout and replacement 123 × 156 mm cutout do not match, so panel work and application conversion must be planned
  • DH+ operator-interface applications that require a PanelView Standard 550 keypad-and-touch terminal
  • Monochrome 256 × 128 application screens using 10 function keys and the 16 × 8 touch-cell grid
  • PanelBuilder32 applications that use the separate RS-232 printer port for supported message and alarm printing
Description
2711-B5A8 combines a 5.5-inch-class monochrome display, physical function keys, and a touch grid for operator control in a PanelView Standard installation.

Its A8 communication configuration provides Data Highway Plus for controller data and a separate RS-232 port for supported printer functions.

Before replacement, preserve the PanelBuilder32 application, DH+ node and data rate, printer settings, keypad assignments, touch calibration, panel cutout, power wiring, and memory-card contents.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How does the hardware series affect application capacity on Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8?
Series E and later terminals provide 240 KB total application flash, while earlier series provide 112 KB; confirm the nameplate series and application size before selecting or loading a replacement.
Can Allen-Bradley 2711-K5A8 replace Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8 without application changes?
No direct substitution should be assumed. 2711-K5A8 is keypad-only, while 2711-B5A8 also uses touch input, so the application and operator workflow must be checked object by object.
Why might the display work while touch input fails on Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8?
Check touch calibration, application object placement, the 16 × 8 touch-cell mapping, screen condition, connector integrity, and whether the restored application was built for the keypad-and-touch terminal.
What should be checked if Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8 is offline on Data Highway Plus?
Verify node duplication, data rate, blue-hose conductor polarity, shielding, trunk and drop termination, controller routing, and the PanelBuilder32 communication configuration restored to the terminal.
Can the RS-232 printer port on Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8 replace its DH+ connection?
No. The A8 configuration uses DH+ for controller communication, while the RS-232 port is documented for supported printer functions and should retain its original serial setup.
What panel change is required by Rockwell Automation’s primary migration path from Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8?
The original 2711-B5A8 cutout is 144 × 243 mm, while the listed 2711P-T6C21D8S replacement uses a 123 × 156 mm cutout; no drop-in adapter is listed in the primary table, so the enclosure and mounting method require engineering review.
Which functional differences must be planned when migrating Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8 to 2711P-T6C21D8S?
The listed replacement is touch-only, DC-powered, and Ethernet-based rather than keypad-and-touch, AC-powered, and DH+; the migration guide also states application limits of 25 screens, 200 alarms, and one controller.
