Hardware Comparison: Panelview Resolutions – Selection Guide

Display resolution are the pixels that can be displayed and is shown in width and height measurements. The higher the numbers, the crisper the image will be. Larger screens are able to display more pixels than smaller screens. VGA in the display resolution is a standard introduced in the 1990’s referring to Video Graphics Array. Higher resolution screens show WVGA, XVGA, and more. Refer to a standard chart for an explanation of pixels in each array. Each PanelView section contains a comprehensive specifications document. Always consult this before finalizing your purchase or installation plan. Here are the terminal dimensions display resolutions and other available display data for each series of PanelView in the Allen-Bradley line. The PanelView 5000 series contains the 5510 and the 5310 models. These graphic terminals offer modern design and Logix Integration for easy engineering configuration. Color depth – 24-bit color graphics (16.7 million colors) Backlight – light-emitting...

Hardware Comparison: Panelview 800 vs. Panelview Component

The Allen Bradley Panelview 800 family is the generational replacement for the Panelview Component family. As of July 2018, the Panelview Component family was discontinued and no longer from sale from the manufacturer, with the Panelview 800 as a functional replacement. For those applications currently using Panelview Component HMI’s, this comparison will help determine which Panelview 800 would be the appropriate replacement. The Panelview Component family debuted in 2010 and was designed for micro and small automation applications. Screen sizes ranged from 2” to 10”, with the 2” having additional function buttons and the 3” and 4” screens having options for additional function buttons. Screens were either monochromatic or up to 256 color RGB. Power requirements for the units was 24VDC and from 3.5W to 18W for the smaller to the largest screens. Connectivity was via Ethernet or serial communications. In general, these were simple, smaller, easy to use screens that utilized Panelview...

Hardware Comparison: Panelview 1000, Panelview Plus, and Panelview 1000E

FAMILY: PanelView Standard PanelView Plus 6/ 7 PanelView Enhanced TERMINAL: PanelView 1000 PanelView Plus 7 1000E Catalog Number: 2711 2711P 2711E Through the years Rockwell has manufactured many different lines of PanelView HMI products. One of the most popular products was the PanelView Standard line of products which includes the PanelView 1000 , launched in 1998. The PanelView 1000, which replaced the PV 900 was available in both grayscale (orange) and color with both Keypad and Touch Input options. The PV 1000 (grayscale) utilized a 10.4” Electro Luminescent display with VGA resolution while the Color model had a similarly sized color VGA active matrix TFT display. Communications options depend on part number configuration but included the full range of protocols and interfaces (DH+, Remote I/O, DeviceNet, ControlNet and Ethernet/IP.) The PanelView Standard line has been discontinued by Rockwell at the end of 2012. Replacement of these HMIs requires engineering to adapt existing...

Explaining HMI, SCADA, and PLCs, What They Do, and How They Work Together

When it comes to the process automation and advanced system design, PLCs, SCADA, and HMIs play crucial roles. A PLC is a hardware-based device, SCADA is a system that works in conjunction with the PLC. But, an HMI is also a system that works in conjunction with a PLC. Since the SCADA system and an HMI can complete more or less the same functions, it’s crucial that you know the difference between these two. In this article, we’ll talk about each of them and explain their functions. Furthermore, we’ll discuss how they work together in a seamless system that controls different functions. We suggest that you grab a cup of coffee– it’s going to be a long read! SCADA didn’t get its name by luck, it is actually an abbreviation that stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. As we said earlier, it’s a system that has both software and hardware elements and is usually used for a couple of things: Control of various processes from a remote location or locally Interaction with sensors...
