✓: Catalog listingListed in the PanelView Standard selection guide under PanelView 550 Monochrome terminals as 2711-B5A8L1.

Decoded from the Rockwell Automation catalog-number structure. Series and firmware revision are printed on the product label, not encoded here.

Series & Revisions

The catalog suffix, not the series, sets input type, communication port and power; series tracked firmware revisions.

Series notes: Same cutout and connector across series. A later series runs the existing PanelBuilder32 application; an earlier one may need it re-saved for its firmware.

Intended Use

Intended for legacy machine operator interface (HMI) applications. PanelView Standard terminals are the operator screens on the installed base of SLC 500, PLC-5 and MicroLogix machines, communicating over DH-485, DH+, Remote I/O, DeviceNet, ControlNet or RS-232 and running PanelBuilder32 applications.

Migration Path

Rockwell Automation has discontinued PanelView Standard terminals. Published successor for the PanelView Standard: PanelView Plus 7 Standard 2711P-T6C21D8S (6.5-in.).

FactoryTalk View ME imports the PanelBuilder32 application (.pba) directly; screens, tags and alarms come across and the tag addresses are re-pointed at the controller.
PanelView Plus 7 communicates over EtherNet/IP. Terminals on DH-485, DH+ or Remote I/O need a 1756-DHRIO / 1761-NET-ENI style bridge or a controller that is already on Ethernet.
Cutouts differ. Rockwell's 2711P-RAK adapter plate kits cover several PanelView Standard openings; otherwise plan a new cutout. Plus 7 Standard is 24V DC, so AC-powered PanelViews add a 24V DC supply.

A like-for-like replacement or a repair keeps the existing program, wiring and panel layout; a migration is a project. Both are listed on this page so the choice can be made on lead time and budget.
