- 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.

- 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
