Application Information
Per the National Electrical Code, the circuit parameters of associated

field wired apparatus for use in hazardous locations shall be
coordinated with the host product such that their combination
remains nonincendive. The PanelView Plus terminal and the USB
peripheral device shall be treated in this manner.
The circuit parameters of the PanelView Plus USB ports are given in
Table 2.1. The USB peripheral device and its associated cabling shall
have circuit parameters with the limits given in Table 2.2 for them to
remain nonincendive when used with the PanelView Plus USB port. If
cable compliance and inductance are not known, use the following
values from UL 913:
Ccable = 60 pF/ft
Lcable = 0.20 µH/ft
Environmental The terminals are suitable for use in an industrial environment when
installed in accordance with these instructions. Specifically, this
Considerations equipment is intended for use in clean, dry environments (Pollution
Degree 2)(1) and with circuits not exceeding Over Voltage Category
II(2) (IEC 60664-1).(3)
(1) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where, normally only non-conductive pollution occurs except that
occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.
(2) Over Voltage Category II is the load level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level transient
voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insulation.
(3) Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II are International Electrotechnical Commissions (IEC)
designations.
Enclosures The terminals must be mounted in a panel or enclosure to protect the

internal circuitry. The terminals meet IP54, IP65 and NEMA Type
12/13 and 4X (indoor) ratings only when mounted in a panel or
enclosure with the equivalent rating. When the terminal is not
mounted in a panel, it is not secure or safe for operation. You must
comply with NEMA Type 4X (indoor) requirements for environmental
specifications.
For more enclosure and certification information on the Outdoor

High-Bright display module, refer to publication 2711P-IN026.

2-4 Installation
Outdoor Installation When using the High-Bright display module outdoors, important
considerations in maximizing the field life of the front bezel and
(cat. no. 2711P-RDT12H display are:
only) • Selecting proper enclosure
• Orientation of the terminal
Both ultraviolet and infrared radiation can reduce the field life of any
electronic device. While the materials used in the terminal bezels
provide long field life, that life can be improved by proper installation.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes all plastics to fade or yellow
and become brittle over time. Using an antiglare overlay, cat. no.
2711P-RGT12, will protect the front of the terminal from direct
exposure to UV radiation and greatly increase its field life.
When installing the High-Bright display module in an environment

where the front of the terminal will be in direct sunlight during the
hottest part of the day and the external ambient temperature can
exceed 40 °C (104 °F), use the visor kit, cat. no. 2711P-RVT12. The
visor reduces the solar load on the front of the display and helps to
maintain internal temperatures within specification.
The High-Bright display module has a built in temperature sensor that

automatically reduces the backlight intensity if the temperature inside
the cabinet exceeds 55 °C. This reduces the risk of damage to the
display.
The paint color, size, and power dissipated by the internal

components of an enclosure affect the temperature rise inside the
cabinet. Hoffman, a Rockwell Automation Encompass Partner, has
information to assist you with enclosure selection and heating/cooling
accessories to meet the temperature requirements of the installed
equipment. See website http://www.hoffmanonline.com.
Stirring fans or active cooling may be required in high altitude and

high ambient temperature locations to keep the internal enclosure
temperature below 55 oC (131 °F). Use a heater in installations where
the ambient temperature is below 0 oC (32 oF).
The backlight of the high-bright display generates a significant amount

of heat when set to full intensity. To minimize the amount of heat
generated and extend the life of the backlight, decrease the display
intensity by using the screen saver with a 5 to 10 minute delay.
Avoid placing the terminal on the south (north in the southern

hemisphere) or west side of the cabinet, if possible. This will reduce
the heat rise due to solar loading during the hottest part of the day.

Installation 2-5
Mount the terminal vertically to minimize solar loading on the display.

Do not mount the terminal in a sloped enclosure if it will be exposed
to direct sunlight.
Required Tools • Panel cutout tools

• Small, slotted screw driver for securing power and RS-232
connections
• Torque wrench (in-lb) for tightening the mounting clips on the
PanelView Plus 700-1500 terminals
Clearances Allow adequate clearance around the terminal, inside the enclosure,
for adequate ventilation. Consider heat produced by other devices in
the enclosure. The ambient temperature around the terminals must be
between 0 to 55 °C (32 to 131 ºF).

The power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity of

the + and - connections. Connecting the DC positive (+) or
DC negative (-) source to the Functional Earth (FE) may damage the
terminal.
The input power terminal block on the integrated power supply is

removable and supports these wire sizes.

The non-isolated power supply does not provide galvanic isolation. A

Class 2 Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) isolated power supply with a
24V dc nominal output voltage is required to power the terminal.
ATTENTION
Use a Class 2 SELV isolated and ungrounded
power supply as input power to the terminal. This
power source provides protection so that under
normal and single fault conditions, the voltage
between conductors and between conductors and
Functional Earth or Protective Earth does not
exceed a safe value.

Connect Power 3-5
Functional Earth Connection
DC powered terminals have a Functional Earth (FE) terminal which

you must connect to a low impedance earth ground. This connection
is required for Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) with the European
Union (EU) EMC directive for CE-mark conformance.
• The 700-1500 terminals have the Functional Earth ground

connection on the rear of the display module.
• The 400 and 600 terminals have the Functional earth ground
connection on the power input terminal block.
The Functional Earth terminal wiring requires a minimum wire gauge.
Terminal Wire Type Wire Gauge Terminal Screw Torque

700-1500 Stranded or solid #14…#10 AWG 1.13…1.36 Nm (10…12 in-lbs)
The Functional Earth terminal may be internally connected to the DC

negative (- DC) terminal within the PanelView Plus terminal.
ATTENTION A ground loop can occur when a voltage potential

exists between two separate ground points. Make
sure that the terminal does not serve as a conductive
path between ground points at different potentials.
Use a single dedicated 24V dc source (power supply) to power each

terminal, such as cat. no. 2711P-RSACDIN. Using a separate, isolated
and ungrounded SELV source to power each terminal, prevents
ground loop currents from damaging the terminals.
The terminals contain isolated and non-isolated communication ports.

Refer to Chapter 6 for information on Communication Port Isolation.
IMPORTANT For more information on wiring and grounding the

terminals, refer to publication 2711P-TD001.

change the intensity, the terminal temporarily changes to that
Display Intensity intensity. The change is not permanent until you select OK.
The Startup Intensity button toggles between Runtime and Default. If

Runtime is selected, the terminal startup screens will use the runtime
intensity setting selected on the above screen. If Default is selected,
the terminal startup screens will use the terminal default setting,
which is near 100%.

Terminal Settings Display Temperature

Display The Display Temperature screen shows the current temperature of the
display.
Display Temperature
The 600 -1500 terminals have a CCFL (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent

Lamp) backlight. This backlight requires temperature control when
the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C or above 60 °C.
For proper backlight operation, the terminal monitors low and high
temperature conditions.
• If the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C, the

backlight is set to overdrive or the full-rated current setting for at
least five minutes.
• If the internal temperature is at or above 60 °C, the backlight is
set to underdrive; 40% or less of full brightness. This reduces
heat generation from the backlight.
Temperature monitoring begins when the terminal powers on, or

when the backlight turns on, for example, exiting screen saver mode.
The temperature control only affects display intensity; it does not
restrict the use or operation of the terminal.
When a low or high temperature condition is detected, an error is sent

to the system event log. If the temperature control is not functioning,
a noncritical error is sent to the system event log but the terminal
continues to operate normally.
TIP The CCFL backlight temperature control takes

precedence over the application Backlight Settings.

Wiring and Safety Use publication NFPA 70E, ‘Electrical Safety Requirements for
Employee Workplaces’, IEC 60364 ‘Electrical Installations in Buildings’
Guidelines or other applicable wiring safety requirements for the country of
installation when wiring the devices. In addition to the NFPA
guidelines:
• route communication cables to terminal by a separate path from
incoming power:
IMPORTANT Do not run signal wiring and power wiring

in the same conduit.
• Cross power and communication lines at right angles if they

must cross.
Communication lines can be installed in the same conduit as
low level DC I/O lines (less than 10V).
• Shield and ground cables appropriately to avoid Electromagnetic

Interference (EMI).
Grounding minimizes noise from EMI and is a safety measure in
electrical installations.
For more information on grounding recommendations, refer to the

National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection.

Ethernet Connections The base configured unit of the 700 - 1500 terminals and the network
based unit of the 400 and 600 terminals have an Ethernet port that
supports:
• EtherNet/IP communications
• Third party Ethernet communications
• Network connections
• Application uploads/downloads
• Printing
Ethernet Connector
The base configured unit of the terminals has an RJ45,

10/100Base-T connector for EtherNet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP network
communications.

Use point-to-point, 10/100Base-T cables with cross over pin-outs

(such as 2711P-CBL-EX04) when connecting the Ethernet port on the
terminal directly to a logic controller’s Ethernet port or a computer
10/100Base-T port. Use standard Ethernet cables when connecting to
a switch or hub.

Cables
Category 5 shielded and unshielded twisted-pair cables with RJ45

connectors are supported. If 100 Mbit/second data rates are used, we
recommend that you use a shielded cable. The shielded cable will
help insure that industrial noise immunity levels are maintained. The
maximum cable length between the terminal’s Ethernet port and a
10/100Base-T port on an Ethernet hub (without repeaters or fiber) is
100 meters (328 feet). In industrial applications, keep the cable length
to a minimum.
WARNING
Security Considerations
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used for IPv4

multicast. A multicast is communication between a single sender and
multiple receivers on a network. IGMP is used to exchange
membership status data between IPv4 routers that support
multicasting and members of multicast groups. A router is an
intermediary device on a communication network that expedites
message delivery by finding the most efficient route for a message
packet within a network, or by routing packets from one sub-network
to another. A sub-network is a separate part of an organization’s
network identified through IP addressing.
PanelView Plus terminals provide level 2 (full) support for IPv4

multicasting (IGMP version 2) as described in RFC 1112 and RFC 2236.
Note: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for

internal network management and is not supported.
Ports 137 and 138 are normally open to support the NetBIOS protocol
used by Windows CE.NET similar to other Microsoft and IBM network
operating systems.

DH-485/DH+/Remote I/O Terminals with a DH-485/DH+/Remote I/O communication module

support communication with these networks:
Module • DH+ networks
• DH-485 networks
• Remote I/O networks
You can communicate with only one network at one time.
The 700-1500 terminals support all protocols on one module. The 400
and 600 terminals require a separate module for each protocol. The
DH+, DH-485 and Remote I/O connections are different between the
modules for the 400 and 600 and 700-1500 terminals.

Troubleshooting 8-3
• Check the messages at startup for errors. Record any error

message and refer to the Startup Error Message table.
• Check the voltages and temperatures (700-1500 only).
From Configuration Mode, open Terminal Settings>System
Information>Terminal Information.
– Battery Voltage for 700-1500 terminals should be at least 2.75
V dc. Replace the battery if less than 2.75 V dc.
– Display Temperatures should be less than 55 °C. The CPU
temperature should be less than 95 °C.
If the temperatures are higher, check for obstructed airflow
through the chassis and attempt to moderate the ambient
temperatures within the enclosure and surroundings.
• Check the System Event Log for errors or unexpected

reboots. From Configuration Mode, open Terminal
Settings>System Event Log.
• Use Extended Diagnostics on 700-1500 terminals only to
perform more extensive hardware testing at startup. From
Configuration Mode, open Terminal Settings>Startup
Tests>Select Tests.
Select one or more of the tests you want to run. Enable

extended diagnostics and set the iteration or repeat count.
Restart the terminal. The Serial Port test requires a loopback
connector with these connections.

8-4 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting This section provides tips on how to isolate problems with individual
components of the terminal, including the display, touch screen,
Components keypad, attached keyboard or mouse.
Display Problems
This section provides tips on how to isolate problems with the

display.
• Check the brightness setting of the Display. Is the display
brightness dim or unreadable?
From Configuration Mode, open Terminal Settings>Display
Intensity.
• Check the contrast setting of Display for 400 and 600
grayscale displays. From Configuration Mode, open Terminal
Settings>Display Contrast.
• Check the Screen Saver settings. Is the backlight turning off
or dimming the display unexpectedly.
From Configuration Mode, open Terminal
Settings>Display>Screen Saver.
• Check the LED indicators. Do they flash during startup? Is

power on and is the unit attempting to start?
• Check the Display temperature (700-1500 only). The
display intensity will decrease to 40% if its temperature (or the
temperature within the enclosure) is too high to reduce damage
to the display. This can be checked using the RSView ME Events
log.
• Check the startup messages. Is the Display operating at all
and do the startup messages appear? Record any error message
and refer to the Startup Error Messages table.
• Replace the display module if all other attempts do not
resolve problem (700-1500 only). If replacing the display
module corrects the problem, then the Display was not
functioning properly.

Troubleshooting 8-5
Touch Screen Problems
This section provides tips on how to isolate problems with the Touch
Screen.
• Check the catalog number of the unit. Verify that your
terminal has a touch screen by looking at the label on the
terminal.
• Perform a calibration of the touch screen. From
Configuration Mode, open Terminal Settings>Input
Devices>Touch Screen>Calibration. Follow the directions.
The calibration requires five user screen touches. When the
touches do not converge to a satisfactory calibration, you are
asked repeatedly for additional screen touches and the
calibration process never terminates. A touch screen that does
not calibrate is not present or not functioning properly. Replace
the display module (700-1500) or the terminal (400 and 600).
• Check the Cursor Enable setting for the touch screen. Is the
cursor visible? From Configuration Mode, open Terminal
Settings>Input Devices>Touch Screen>Cursor.
• Check the pointer input by attaching a USB mouse. If the
mouse works, but the touch screen does not, then the touch
driver or touch screen is not functioning properly. If both the
mouse and the touch screen are not working, then it is an
application problem.
• Does touching or dragging on the screen appear to work?
If yes, even if incorrectly, the touch screen is present and
working but requires calibration.
• Replace the bezel or display module if all other attempts
do not resolve the problem (700-1500 only). If replacing the
display module or bezel corrects the problem, then the touch
screen was not functioning properly.

8-6 Troubleshooting
Keypad Problems

Keypad:
• Check the Multi-Key/Hold-Off settings. From Configuration
Mode, open Terminal Settings>Keypad>Keypad Settings.
Is the Hold-Off Delay longer than expected, or are multiple key
presses inhibited by Multi-Key Lockout? Check all configurable
settings.
Home, End, Page Up or Page Down are not supported when
Multi-Key Lockout is enabled.
• Check key input by attaching a USB keyboard. If the
keyboard works, but the keypad does not, then the keypad
driver or keypad is not working. If both the keypad and
keyboard are not working, then the problem may be the
application.
• Replace the display module if all other attempts do not
resolve problem. If replacing the display module corrects the
problem, then the keypad was not functioning properly.
Problems with Attached Mouse
This section provides tips on how to isolate problems with an

attached Mouse.
• Check the Cursor Enable setting. Is the cursor visible? From
Configuration Mode, open Terminal Settings>Input
Devices>Touch Screen>Cursor. Also check mouse settings.
• Check the USB cable and connection. Detach and then
re-attach the mouse. Cycle power to the terminal.
• Is the mouse a USB composite device? If the mouse is a
keyboard/mouse composite device, then try a stand-alone USB
mouse.
• Replace the USB mouse. Try a different model or
manufacturer. See Appendix B for a list of compatible mouse
devices. You can also check the Knowledgebase at the
http://support.rockwellautomation.com site for a list of USB
devices that are compatible with the terminal. If attaching a new
mouse resolves the problem, then the old mouse was not
working or non-compliant.

Troubleshooting 8-7
Problems with Attached Keyboard

Keyboard.
• Check for enabled Alt-Ctrl keys. From Configuration Mode,
open Terminal Settings>Input Devices>Keyboard>Keyboard
Settings.
Are the keys enabled as expected? Check all configurable
settings in Keyboard Properties.
• If the keypad is present, check input using the keypad. If
the keypad works, but the keyboard does not, then the
keyboard driver or keyboard is probably not working. If both
the keypad and the keyboard are not working, then it is
probably an application problem.
• Check the USB cable and connector. Detach and re-attach the
keyboard. Insure a good connection. Cycle power to the
terminal.
• Is the keyboard a USB composite device? If the keyboard is a
keyboard/mouse composite device, then try a stand-alone USB
keyboard.
• Replace the USB keyboard. Try a different model or
manufacturer. See Appendix B for a list of compatible
keyboards. You can also check the Knowledgebase at the
http://support.rockwellautomation.com site for a list of USB
devices that are compatible with the terminal. If a new keyboard
resolves the problem, then the old keyboard was probably
non-compliant.

8-8 Troubleshooting
Ethernet Problems • Check the LED indicators at the Ethernet connector. The
green LED indicates a communications link and should be ON.
The amber LED indicates data activity and should be flashing.
Verify that there is a connection to the hub?
• Check the cable connections and quality of cable. Check for
good connections and things such as quality, crimping, hub
connection, and uplink ports.
• Check the IP Address of the Built-In Ethernet Controller.
From Configuration Mode, select Terminal Settings>Networks
and Communications>Network Connections>Network Adaptors.
If DHCP is enabled, the device expects a valid IP address to be
acquired within a several seconds after startup. The TCP/IP
protocol automatically assigns 169.254.nnn.nnn when it fails to
acquire an IP address from the server. In general, an IP address
that begins with 169 will not support a network connection.
A bad Ethernet connection and the absence of a valid IP address

are typically reported in a Communications error message box
with the Winsock critical error 10065 - "No route to host".
• Check for conflicting IP addresses. If DHCP is not enabled,

make sure the IP address you specify is not in conflict with the
address of another device on the network.
• Check the Device Name of the terminal. Do not allow
devices on the network with same (host) name. From
Configuration Mode, open Terminal Settings>Communications
and Networks>Network Connections>Device Name.
• Contact your Network Administrator to check peer or
server settings. The “other side” of the Ethernet connection
may also be a problem.

Troubleshooting 8-9
Advanced Troubleshooting 1. Take advantage of alternate connectivity - mouse versus touch

screen, keyboard versus keypad, serial communications, and
alternate Ethernet connections.
2. Know useful keyboard shortcuts so that you can navigate

around the system without a mouse or touch screen.
3. From Configuration Mode, select Terminal Settings>System

Event Log to check the event log. Look for error conditions or
reasons for unexpected reboots.
4. Check the configuration settings in Configuration Mode for

incorrect settings.
5. Most importantly, general troubleshooting thoroughness means

getting answers to questions such as:
• Does the failure always happen? Is it repeatable?
• Does the failure happen at bootup or some other time? Is
there a set of actions that reveal the problem?
• Does the failure occur on just one terminal or on multiple
machines? If more than one machine, what do they have in
common? If not all machines, then what is different between
machines that fail and those that don’t?
• What appears on the screen, the LED indicators?
• Lastly, and most important; did everything work until
recently? If so, what changed?
