PanelView 550 ControlNet and HMI Interface
The 2711-T5A15L1 combines a monochrome 256 x 128 pixel LCD with a touch-based operator interface. The display area measures 120 x 60 mm, while the touch interface uses defined touch cells for operator actuation.
ControlNet provides the primary network communication interface specified for this terminal. An additional RS-232 port provides printer-interface connectivity.
The terminal accepts a nominal 24 VDC supply across an 18 to 32 VDC input range. Wiring should maintain the specified DC polarity and supply voltage at the terminal input.
Application storage includes 170 KB of runtime memory and 240 KB of nonvolatile memory for application objects, text, and bitmaps. The 2711-NM232 memory card is specified as the removable memory option.

Field Installation Guidelines
- Verify the DC supply remains within the specified 18 to 32 VDC input range before energizing the terminal.
- Use wiring with appropriate insulation ratings and route DC power separately from high-energy switching conductors.
- Maintain correct supply polarity and provide suitable upstream overcurrent protection according to the installation design.
- Install the terminal within the specified 0 to 55 deg C operating temperature range.
- Confirm the panel cutout and rear clearance accommodate the stated installed depth and memory-card access requirements.
- Maintain enclosure sealing practices consistent with the required NEMA and IP protection level.
- Route ControlNet communication wiring separately from high-voltage power and high-current switching conductors.
- Follow the applicable ControlNet cable and termination requirements for the installed network topology.
- Connect the RS-232 interface according to the required printer-interface pinout and cable specification.
- Where shielded communication cables are used, terminate shields according to the system grounding design and applicable installation standards.
- Do not perform wiring changes while energized unless the installation procedure and equipment documentation explicitly permit such work.
- Verify touchscreen operation and communication status after installation before placing the terminal into normal service.
