Allen-Bradley 2713P-T6CD1 PanelView 5310 Operator Terminal

Configured for graphical operator interface tasks in industrial automation networks, the Allen-Bradley 2713P-T6CD1 (2713P-T6CD1) Operator Terminal provides direct physical/electrical execution of machine visualization and process control data.

Hardware Specifications

Profinet / EtherNet/IP Deterministic Networks

The 2713P-T6CD1 integrates into EtherNet/IP control architectures, utilizing the 10/100Base-T port for deterministic communication with control-level hardware. The device supports I/O density scaling through its managed tag database, allowing the terminal to process high volumes of controller data. Firmware flash compatibility is managed via the terminal's internal OS, and users must align project runtime versions with the controller firmware to avoid synchronization errors. The terminal facilitates high-speed data exchange required for real-time visualization, maintaining network determinism within the broader factory automation topology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LED backlight be replaced if it fails?

A: No. The LED backlight assembly is integrated into the display module and is not a field-replaceable component. The backlight is engineered for the operational life of the terminal; failure necessitates the replacement of the entire unit.

Q: Are there specific restrictions on the USB port usage?

A: The USB port is designed for external storage devices or peripheral input devices. It does not support direct controller-to-terminal communication protocols and should not be used to power external devices that exceed the port's current output rating.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the terminal in a flat, rigid panel surface to ensure the gasket maintains an effective seal against environmental contaminants. The terminal must be secured using the provided mounting hardware to the specified torque to prevent vibration-induced loosening.

• Grounding: A dedicated chassis ground terminal is located on the rear of the unit. This must be bonded to the enclosure ground bus using a low-impedance conductor to minimize electromagnetic interference that could affect the touchscreen logic.

• Power Wiring: Connect to a regulated 24 V DC power source. Ensure that the power lines are kept separate from high-voltage AC lines to prevent induced noise on the DC supply, which could cause terminal resets or erratic touch input behavior.

• Touchscreen Care: The analog resistive touchscreen is sensitive to point-pressure. Operate the screen with a clean, blunt stylus or finger; avoid excessive force or sharp objects that could compromise the resistive overlay.
