Panelview 550

The Panelview 550 terminal series is a series of high-performance operator terminal manufactured by Allen-Bradley. These high-performance operator terminals are designed to meet the users’ needs, with a space-saving construction and a flat panel design. The Panelview 550 series terminals come with the monochrome screens, with the keypad/touchscreen input option combination. The screen size is 5.5 inches diagonal and it is an LCD monochrome display with a pixel resolution of 256 x 128. The Panelview 550 touch-only operator interface terminals feature a 30% smaller size. The Panelview 550 terminals come with 10 functional keys and numeric keypads. The terminals feature cursor control keys and 3.4 inches of installed depth. The Panelview 550 terminals feature a voltage supply of 85 to 264 Volts AC and 47 to 63 Hertz. The power consumption is 45 VA maximum.

The Panelview 550 terminals should be installed in well-protected environments to ensure optimal performance. When installing the Panelview 550 terminals, use a panel or enclosure to protect the internal circuitry. The standard operator interfaces feature indoor use ratings only and they should be properly mounted in panels or enclosures with equivalent ratings. During installation, ensure that there is enough space within the enclosure to ensure that there is adequate ventilation and to prevent overheating. The heat that is produced by other devices can result in overheating, affecting the functionality of these terminals. The ambient operating temperature range around the Panelview 550 terminals should be 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. Ensure that there is a provision for accessing the back panel of the terminals to support wiring, device maintenance, and the installation of a memory card as well as easy troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting Your PanelView 550

PanelView 550 Startup Failure

If your PanelView 550 fails to startup properly, always check the power supply first. Ensure the terminal is receiving the correct voltage and that the wiring and connections to the power source are valid. In addition, you should also ensure the DC power positive and negative are attached to the proper terminals. 

PanelView 550 Status Indicators 

The status indicators are located on the back of your PanelView 550 terminal.  The COMM indicator is green and reflects communication. The FAULT indicator is red and reflects hardware faults. Upon startup, the fault indicator should be off and the comm indicator on. If the fault indicator flashes a few times at startup, this is not a concern. However, if both indicators are off you should check the power cable. See the table below to interpret the terminal's indicator status:
