More Information

Overview Manuals Model Identity System Interface Service Boundaries Applications

Features:

  • Keypad-and-touch operator input
  • PanelView 550 monochrome display
  • RS-232 DF1 controller communication
2711-B5A16 combines ten function keys, cursor and numeric-entry keys with touch objects arranged on the PanelView 550 screen. The application determines which displayed objects respond to the physical keys or the touch cells.

Its RS-232 DF1 port connects to PLC, SLC or MicroLogix controllers that provide a DF1 interface, keeping the terminal identity tied to a serial DF1 installation rather than another PanelView 550 network option.

A separate RS-232 printer/file-transfer port supports printer connection and, on DF1 terminals, computer-based application transfer. COMM and FAULT indicators provide local communication and terminal-fault status.

For Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A16 PanelView enquiries, Apter Power can help review the complete catalog identity, installed DF1 connection and sourcing requirements.

  • 2711-B5A16: PanelView 550 monochrome operator terminal
  • Keypad and touch-screen input configuration
  • Ten function keys with 128 application-defined touch cells
  • Catalog communication option: RS-232 DF1
  • 2711-B5A16: The DF1 port connects to a PLC, SLC or MicroLogix controller with a DF1 interface
  • The RS-232 DF1 port can also connect to a computer for terminal communication
  • The separate RS-232 printer/file-transfer port supports printer connection
  • On a DF1 terminal, the printer/file-transfer port can also transfer applications from a computer
  • 2711-B5A16: Do not use the terminal for emergency stops or other personnel- or equipment-critical controls
  • Keep safety-critical operator controls on separate hardwired devices
  • Match the replacement to the RS-232 DF1 communication option, not only the PanelView 550 size
  • Retain the installed application and complete catalog record before exchanging the terminal
  • 2711-B5A16: Local machine operation through application-defined function keys and touch objects
  • Numeric and ASCII entry through the keypad and displayed entry objects
  • Controller status and command exchange over an installed DF1 serial connection
  • Application transfer and optional serial printing through the documented RS-232 ports
Description
2711-B5A16 combines a 5.5-inch monochrome display with keypad and touch input, letting an installed PanelView 550 application keep both hard-key navigation and direct screen selection within one operator station.

2711-B5A16 uses full-duplex RS-232 (DF1) for controller communication and also provides an RS-232 printer port that supports application download. Separating those paths helps technicians decide whether a failed connection affects the control link or the service-transfer route.

2711-B5A16 belongs to the AC-powered base configuration; L1 identifies the corresponding DC variation. Keeping the power code and saved application attached to a spare request reduces rework when the terminal is returned to service.

Technical notes
2711-B5A16 is a legacy PanelView Standard terminal. Verify the RS-232 (DF1) interface, AC supply, panel cutout and saved application before servicing or planning a migration. A later operator terminal requires documented communication, electrical and application review; it is not a direct plug-in assumption.

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.
A technician can communicate with the PLC but cannot download the application to 2711-B5A16; which connection should be tested first?
Test the separate RS-232 printer/file-transfer port before changing DF1 settings; that auxiliary port supports application download while the controller link remains a different path.
Can a buyer substitute a DH-485 PanelView 550 for 2711-B5A16 when the enclosure size looks the same?
No. The installed controller path expects RS-232 (DF1), so a DH-485 catalog code would require a different communications design rather than a like-for-like spare.
Should an electrician apply 24 V DC to 2711-B5A16 when the failed unit has no L1 suffix?
No. The base keypad/touch catalog is the AC-powered version; L1 identifies the corresponding DC-powered configuration. Stop and match the supply code before wiring.
What acceptance test should maintenance run after installing 2711-B5A16?
Exercise both the touch cells and physical keys in the restored application, then prove the DF1 controller link and the application-transfer path separately before production release.
Can a touch-only PanelView 550 cover the operator workflow assigned to 2711-B5A16?
Not automatically. The B catalog code combines keypad and touch input, so any alternative must preserve functions assigned to physical keys as well as screen objects.
After 2711-B5A16 powers up, what does an inactive COMM indication tell a maintenance technician?
It points to the DF1 communication path rather than proving a display or keypad fault. Troubleshoot serial cabling, controller settings and application configuration before replacing the terminal again.
