Operator Control
All terminals have a color display with a touch screen for operator control. The
resistive touch screen provides accurate, reliable, and durable touch control for
industrial applications.
ATT EN TI ON : The touch screen accepts input from a finger, stylus, or gloved
hand for operation in dry or wet environments.
The plastic stylus must have a minimum tip radius of 1.3 mm (0.051 in.).
Any other object or tool can damage the touch screen.
Do not conduct multiple operations simultaneously; it can result in unintended
operation. Touch only one operating element on the touch screen with one
finger, at one time.
TIP At runtime, a virtual keyboard or numeric keypad opens on terminal
screens for data entry.
The touch screen supports touch gestures to interact with screen elements
during runtime. Use only these touch gestures on the touch screen:
• Ta p – Briefly touch the target on the terminal screen with your
fingertip.
• Double-tap – Touch the target on the terminal screen twice quickly
with your fingertip.
• Drag – Touch the target on the terminal screen and move your fingertip
across the screen.
• Long press – Touch and hold the target on the terminal screen for
several seconds.
Software Support
For a list of actions you can perform by using touch gestures, refer to the
FactoryTalk View ME help.
IMPORTANT It is the responsibility of the customer to be sure that any third-party
software, updates, patches, or firmware that is installed is free of malicious
bugs, spyware, and so on.

PanelView Plus 7 Standard
Terminal Connected Via Two
Ethernet Ports
Only PanelView Plus 7 standard terminals with two Ethernet ports, for
example, catalog number 2711P-T10C22D8S, operate on a DLR network.
DLR network topologies automatically convert to linear network topologies
when a fault is detected. The conversion to the new network topology
maintains communication of data on the network. The fault condition is
typically detected and corrected.
For more information on DLR network topology, refer to EtherNet/IP
Embedded Switch Technology Application Guide, publication ENET-AP005
Figure 3 - PanelView Plus 7 Standard Terminal in a DLR Network
.
Linear Network Topology
A linear network topology is a collection of devices that are daisy-chained
together across an EtherNet/IP network. Devices that can connect to a linear
network topology use embedded switch technology to eliminate the need for a
separate switch, as required in Star network topologies.
TIP The PanelView Plus 7 Standard terminal with one Ethernet port can be
attached only at the ends of the linear network.
