Description
Product Name: 2711-K5A3 Allen Braley Programmable controller
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 2711-K5A3 is a member of the PanelView 550 series of Operator Interface Terminals. It is a legacy industrial terminal designed for monitoring and controlling machinery through a rugged, reliable interface.
1. Product Detailed Description
The 2711-K5A3 is a monochrome graphic terminal featuring a 5.5-inch Blue Mode LCD display. It is primarily input-driven via a tactile Keypad rather than a touchscreen. This model provides an interface between an operator and a programmable logic controller (PLC), allowing for real-time data visualization and machine manipulation.
It communicates via DH-485 (Data Highway 485) protocol and is typically powered by an external AC power source.

3. Product Advantages
-
Industrial Durability: Built to withstand harsh factory environments, including vibrations, high temperatures, and electromagnetic interference.
-
Tactile Feedback: The keypad allows operators to interact with the machine even while wearing industrial gloves, providing more reliable input than early resistive touchscreens.
-
Compact Footprint: Its small size makes it ideal for mounting on small control panels or directly onto compact machinery.
-
Proven Reliability: As a legacy device, it has a long track record of stability in long-term manufacturing cycles.
4. Key Precautions & Maintenance
-
Legacy Status: This model is discontinued (End of Life). Future replacements may require migration to the PanelView Plus or PanelView 800 series.
-
DH-485 Limitations: The DH-485 protocol is slower and less flexible than modern Ethernet/IP. Ensure your PLC (like a SLC 500 or MicroLogix) is compatible.
-
Backlight Lifespan: While the screen is durable, the CCFL backlight eventually dims. It is replaceable, and keeping a spare on hand is recommended for critical machines.
-
Software Compatibility: Programming typically requires PanelBuilder32 software, which may require older Windows environments or virtual machines to run.
5. Typical Applications
The 2711-K5A3 is commonly used in medium-to-light industrial applications, including:
-
Packaging Machinery: Adjusting speeds, timing, and monitoring error codes.
-
Material Handling: Controlling conveyor systems and sorting gates.
-
Water Treatment: Monitoring tank levels and pump statuses.
-
Legacy System Support: Maintaining existing production lines that still utilize SLC 500 or PLC-5 controllers.
