Allen-Bradley Touch Screen Products Overview
Allen-Bradley, a brand under Rockwell Automation, offers a comprehensive lineup of touch screen Human-Machine Interface (HMI) products under the PanelView™ family. These graphic terminals are designed for industrial automation, providing operators with intuitive visual interfaces to monitor, control, and interact with machinery and processes. The series includes legacy models (e.g., PanelView 550, 600) and modern lines like PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, PanelView 800, and PanelView 5000. They support resistive or capacitive touch inputs, color TFT LCD displays, and integration with controllers like MicroLogix, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix. Programming is typically done via FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition software, enabling graphical displays, alarms, and data logging.
Below is a detailed breakdown covering the requested aspects, focusing on key active series for relevance.
Detailed Product Description

Product Advantages
Allen-Bradley PanelView touch screens stand out for their robustness and integration in industrial settings:
- Durability and Reliability: Rugged construction withstands vibrations, dust, and temperatures up to 55°C (131°F), with IP65/NEMA ratings for washdown environments.
- Flexibility and Scalability: Modular design allows easy upgrades (e.g., display swaps in Plus series); supports multiple protocols (Ethernet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet) and third-party software.
- Enhanced Productivity: High-resolution graphics, multi-language support, and intuitive touch interfaces reduce operator errors; remote access via VNC enables troubleshooting without downtime.
- Seamless Integration: Native compatibility with Rockwell Logix controllers and FactoryTalk software minimizes setup time; performance models offer faster processing for complex visualizations.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Entry-level options like PanelView 800 suit small applications, while advanced features in Plus 7 provide long-term ROI through reduced maintenance.
- Future-Proofing: Backward compatibility with legacy systems and options for marine/high-bright displays ensure longevity.
These advantages make them a top choice for manufacturers seeking dependable HMIs that evolve with automation needs.
Precautions/Notes
- Installation: Mount in panels with proper cutouts; ensure ventilation to avoid overheating (max ambient 55°C). Use grounded power supplies to prevent electrical noise.
- Touch Screen Care: Calibrate regularly via the configuration menu (requires 4 touches); avoid sharp objects to prevent damage to resistive membranes (1 million-press lifespan). For unresponsive screens, check for calibration errors or replace overlays.
- Power and Wiring: Verify 18–30V DC input; use shielded cables for communications to mitigate EMI. Do not exceed voltage ratings to avoid fuse blows.
- Software Updates: Firmware revisions (e.g., PanelView 800 needs v7.011+ for advanced features) must be applied via Rockwell tools; incompatible updates can cause boot failures.
- Environmental: Not for explosive atmospheres unless ATEX-certified; clean with non-abrasive cloths to maintain display clarity.
- Maintenance: Backlights are non-replaceable in some models—monitor for dimming after 50,000 hours. If troubleshooting, start with power/comms checks before advanced diagnostics.
- Obsolete Models: For legacy units (e.g., PanelView 550), source replacement parts like touch overlays, but consider migrating to current series for support.
Always consult Rockwell Automation manuals for model-specific guidelines.
Product Applications
PanelView touch screens excel in diverse industrial scenarios requiring real-time visualization and control:
- Machine Control: Operator interfaces for CNC machines, robotics, and assembly lines, displaying status, alarms, and setpoints.
- Material Handling: Integration with conveyors, sortation systems, and AGVs for monitoring flow and diagnostics.
- Process Control: In food/beverage, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals for recipe management, batch tracking, and compliance reporting.
- OEM Panels: Custom builds for packaging, printing, and automotive equipment, leveraging modular designs for quick deployment.
