Initially, you secure the terminal in the panel by sliding each lever to a position
that is one or two notches greater than the final lock position. For example, if the
final lock position is 3, slide each lever to position 4 or 5.
Follow the locking sequence and lever orientations for each terminal as shown in
Figure 5 on page 27
.
If the lock position is 6, slide lever to large end of slot or insertion hole.
You then adjust each lever to its final lock position in the same sequence as shown
in Figure 5 on page 27

Connect to DC Power
Terminals with a 24V DC power supply have these power ratings:
• 24V DC nominal (18…30V DC)
• 50 W maximum (2.1A at 24V DC)
ATT EN TI ON : The power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity.
Connecting DC+ or DC- to the earth ground terminal can damage the terminal.
Connecting AC power, or more than 30V DC, can also damage the terminal.
Terminals with a DC power input require a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) or
protective extra-low voltage (PELV) 24V DC power supply. Supported power
supplies include catalog numbers 1606-XLP95E, 1606-XLP100E,
or 2711P-RSACDIN.
ATT EN TI ON : Use a SELV or PELV supply as required by local wiring codes for
your installation. The SELV and PELV power sources provide protection so that
under normal and single fault conditions, the voltage between conductors and
earth ground does not exceed a safe value.
You can power the terminal from the same power source as other equipment by
using a DC power bus.
To connect the operator terminal to a DC power source, follow these steps.
1. Verify that the wiring is not connected to a power source.
2. Strip 7 mm (0.28 in.) of insulation from the ends of the wires.
3. Secure the DC power wires to the marked terminals (+ and –) on the

Connect to a Network
The two Ethernet ports connect to controllers on an EtherNet/IP network by
standard Ethernet connections. These network topologies are supported:
• Device Level Ring Network Topology
• Linear Network Topology
• Star Network Topology
Each of these EtherNet/IP network topologies supports applications that use
Integrated Motion over an EtherNet/IP network, if necessary.
The terminal has dual-Ethernet ports but one device IP address.
Ethernet Ports
The Ethernet ports have two 10/100Base-T connectors for network
communication and supports MDI/MDI-X connections and DLR network
topology.
The terminal connects to an EtherNet/IP network by using a CAT5, CAT5E, or
CAT6 twisted-pair, Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors.
To help prevent accidental disconnection of the Ethernet cable:
• To minimize vibration at the connector, and reduce the chance that
personnel that work inside the panel can accidentally disconnect the cable,
secure the Ethernet cable to the connector.
• Do not install the Ethernet cable too tightly. To prevent pulling on the cable
when the panel door is opened and closed, leave some slack in the cable.
The maximum cable length between the Ethernet ports and a 10/100Base-T port
on an Ethernet switch (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 m (328 ft).
WARNING: In hazardous locations, do not connect or disconnect any
communication cable with power applied to this device or any device on the
network. An electrical arc can cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Make sure that the power is off or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.

Device Level Ring Network Topology
A Device Level Ring (DLR) network is a single-fault tolerant ring network that is
intended for the interconnection of automation devices. This topology is also
implemented at the device level. No additional switches are required.
A DLR network contains supervisor nodes and ring nodes. The PanelView 5500
terminal operates only as a ring node on the network.
When a fault occurs, the fault location is determined and the supervisor
reconfigures the network to continue sending data on the network. Once the
fault is corrected, the supervisor reconfigures the network to operate as a normal
ring (versus a faulted ring).
For more information on DLR network topology, see EtherNet/IP Embedded
Switch Technology Application Guide, publication ENET-AP005

Runtime Environment
During runtime, the PanelView 5500 terminal runs HMI projects. A project is
configured and downloaded to your terminal from the View Designer
application. The project launches each time the terminal restarts.
The terminal exchanges data values with the controller, animates the displayed
data, and responds when you press keys or touch a screen or element on a screen.
During runtime, you can perform these tasks:
• Navigate screens and their graphic elements
• View and manage alarms
• View and perform operations on a trend chart
• Display error information
• Configure terminal settings and view diagnostic information
Here is an example of a screen in a project that is downloaded to the terminal.

is removed by pulling back on a tab. Do not
remove the liner until you are ready to install the
overlay.
Follow these guidelines when installing the overlay:
• Make sure that your hands are clean and dry.
• Handle the overlay by its edges to prevents fingerprints or lint. If you do get
marks or lint on the overlay, remove them before proceeding.
• Do not touch the adhesive ring.
Before installing the overlay, clean the touch screen and keys, if present, by using a
lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Remove all fingerprints, grease, or dust.
Marks that are not removed get trapped underneath the overlay. Grease also
affects the adhesion of the overlay.
To apply the protective overlay, follow these steps.

• Application screens that contain too many elements
• A controller that is programmed for feedback can cause delays
• Slow network performance or noise can result in retries
Resistance to Chemicals
The outer surfaces of the terminal including the bezel, touch screen overlay, and
panel sealing gasket are tested for chemical resistance. Some of the chemicals can
cause discoloration, but they do not interfere with the operation of the terminal.
For more information on chemical resistance of the product, go to
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/knowledgebase
and search the
Knowledgebase for keywords ‘Chemical Resistance PanelView Plus’.
Do not operate the terminal in direct sunlight. Direct exposure to ultraviolet
light can discolor the touch screen.

Clean the Display
A protective overlay can help extend the life of the terminal and make it easier to
clean the display. Tab le 4 o n p ag e 1 5
ATT EN TI ON : Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, they can damage the
display. Do not scrub or use brushes.
Do not apply cleaning solution directly on the terminal screen, the solution can
drip or seep onto the gasket. Apply cleaning solution to a clean sponge or soft
cloth, and gently wipe the screen to remove the dirt and grime.
To clean the display, follow these steps.
1. Disconnect power from the terminal at the power source.
ATTENTION: Cleaning a display while power is applied can result in
unintended activation of screen items.
2. To clean the display and prevent scratches, use a clean sponge or soft cloth
with mild soap or detergent.
3. Dry the display with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to avoid water
spots.

Remove Paint and Grease
To remove paint or grease from the bezel that is properly mounted in a NEMA,
UL Type, or IP rated enclosure, follow these steps.
1. Rub lightly with isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration).
2. To remove residue, use a mild soap or detergent solution.
3. Rinse with clean water.
Equipment Wash Downs
ATT EN TI ON : Do not use a high-pressure washer for cleaning the front bezel of
the terminal. A high-pressure washer can damage the terminal.
Do not use a high-pressure washer for cleaning vented enclosures. Water can enter
the enclosure and damage the terminal and other equipment.

TIP
Ship the Terminal
Restore Factory Defaults
If you ship the enclosure with the terminal installed, make sure that the terminal
is properly secured and protected against damage from impact, sharp objects, or
abrasive materials.
ATT EN TI ON : Rockwell Automation is not responsible for damage to a product
that is shipped or transported while installed in a panel or enclosure.
Restore a terminal to its default settings to refresh the terminal or to recover from
an invalid application configuration. The restore process does not affect the
firmware revision on the terminal.
ATT EN TI ON : The process that restores factory defaults also removes some data.
• Upload the application with the View Designer application.
• Record the terminal settings so you can update them after the restore.
If a terminal stalls at the progress indicator after a restart and does not load the
application or configuration screens, you can restore the factory defaults.
The restore procedure performs the following actions:
• Removes the user application
• Restores the terminal settings to their default state
