Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8L1 PanelView 550 HMI Display

Allen-Bradley 2711-B5A8L1 PanelView 550 is a compact, 5.5-inch monochrome HMI terminal that provides a dedicated operator interface for Rockwell Automation PLCs. It merges a keypad with a touch screen for input and navigation, enabling hands-on control and quick interaction at the machine level. The device communicates over DH+ and includes an RS-232 printer port for inline data capture and printouts, simplifying reporting from a connected controller. This model belongs to the PanelView 550 Standard family, specifically Series H with revision L1, and is configured with PanelBuilder32 for programming and tag-based screens. The 550 platform is built to sit between older controller families and your HMI, showing live tag values, alarms, and runtime messages on a compact, rugged panel. Power is supplied via DC input, and the display is designed for environments where a compact, low-power operator terminal is desirable. Typical applications include line-side monitors for conveyors, packaging machines, and manufacturing cells, where operators need a straightforward, reliable way to view process data and issue basic commands without a PC.
