Overview
About the PanelView 5500
Terminals
The PanelView™ 5500
terminals are operator interface
devices for monitoring and
controlling devices that are
attached to ControlLogix®
5570 and CompactLogix™ L1,
L2, and L3 controllers over an
EtherNet/IP™ network.
Animated graphic and text
displays provide operators a view into the operating state of a machine or
process. Operators interact with the control system by using the touch screen
or keypad of the terminal.
The PanelView 5500 terminals include these features and capabilities:
• Tightly integrated control and design environment allows information
to be shared between the PanelView 5500 terminal and the Logix
platforms.
• The Studio 5000® environment provides one point of access for both
View Designer and Logix Designer applications.
• Connection to one ControlLogix 5570 or CompactLogix L1, L2, or L3
controller with revision 27 firmware or later.
• Supports a maximum of 50 user-defined screens (the screens will
increase in future firmware).
• Supports a maximum of 500 Logix-based alarms (the alarms will
increase in future firmware).
• Ethernet communication supporting Device Level Ring (DLR), linear,
or star network topologies.
• High-speed human machine interface (HMI) button control and easily
configured navigation menu.

• Keypad models are similar except for the number of function keys to the
left (L#) and right (R#) of the display. Larger models have more keys.
The physical keypad on the PanelView 5500 terminal is used during runtime to
initiate actions, control navigation, and enter data. The terminal also supports
a virtual keyboard and numeric keypad that opens on PanelView 5500 terminal
screens during runtime.
The terminal also supports the use of a physical keyboard and mouse when
connected to the USB ports.
ATTENTION: The keypad and touch screen support input from a finger,
stylus, and 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 keypad or touch screen.
ATTENTION: Do not perform multiple operations simultaneously. Multiple
simultaneous operations can result in unintended operation.
• Touch only one operating element on the screen with one finger at one
time.
• Press only one key on the terminal at one time.

Touch Gestures The PanelView 5500 terminal supports touch gestures to interact with screen
elements during runtime. Standard touch functions include these gestures:
•Tap – Briefly touch the target on the screen with your fingertip.
•Drag – Touch the target, maintain contact with the target, and move
your fingertip across the screen.
For a list of actions you can perform by using touch gestures, see the View
Designer help.
Studio 5000 Environment Use the Studio 5000 environment to create HMI applications for the
PanelView 5500 terminal.
The Studio 5000 environment includes these applications:
•View Designer – you can create and design a project for a specific
PanelView 5500 terminal and download the project to the terminal.
You can create an application for any PanelView 5500 terminal and
reuse that same application across the entire platform.
•Logix Designer – you can develop control logic for a CompactLogix or
ControlLogix controller and download the logic to the controller.

The table describes how the View Designer and Logix Designer applications
work together to create an HMI runtime project.
Table 3 - Studio 5000 Applications and Tools
Item Component Description
1ViewDesigner
application A Studio 5000 application that is used to build HMI projects.
View Designer projects are stored as .VPD files that can be downloaded to the
PanelView 5500 terminal.
2 Tag browser A tool that is used to search for and select tags within a Logix Designer ACD project
file.You can bind the tags to graphic element properties and properties of an HMI
screen.View Designer uses the tag browser to read data from an ACD file.
3LogixDesigner
application A Studio 5000 application that is used to develop control logic for an industrial automation system. Logix Designer interfaces with controllers to read and write tag
information. Logix Designer projects are stored as .ACD files that can be downloaded
to the controller.
4 ACD file An Automation Controller Database (ACD) file. An ACD file is a Logix Designer project
file that containsthe logic or code, including tags and data types, which runs within
a controller.
5 HMI project
(VPD file)
A View Project Database (VPD) file. AVPD project is a file that contains the operator
interface application, including HMI screens, controller references, and information
about the HMI device to run the application.
6 HMI device A Human Machine Interface (HMI) device, such as the PanelView 5500 terminal,
which runs the HMI project. At runtime, the HMI device communicates directly with
the controller.
7 Runtime The environment in which the runtime HMI project communicates with the
controller. During runtime, the HMI device runs the downloaded project, exchanges
data with the controller, animates displayed data, and responds to operator input.
8 Controller A logic controller such as a ControlLogix or CompactLogix 5370 controller.

EtherNet/IP Communication The PanelView 5500 terminals contain EtherNet/IP embedded switch
technology. These terminals communicate with ControlLogix controllers over
an Ethernet connection with DLR or linear network topologies. Star
technology is also supported when using switches.
ThePanelView 5500 terminals can reside on EtherNet/IP networks that run
integrated motion and CIP Sync applications without adverse performance.
The terminal is not a consumer or producer of CIP Sync or motion packets.
Typical Configuration Traditional DLR, linear, and star network topologies are supported. See these
topics for examples:
•Device Level Ring Network Topology on page 39
•Linear Network Topology on page 40
•Star Network Topology on page 41

ATTENTION: Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
The terminals are intended for use with programmable logic controllers.Terminals that are AC powered must be connected
to the secondary of an isolating transformer.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC CISPR 11.Without appropriate
precautions, there may be difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due to
conducted or radiated disturbances.
Korean Radio Wave Suitability Registration - When so marked this equipment is registered for
Electromagnetic Conformity Registration as business equipment (A), not home equipment. Sellers or users
are required to take caution in this regard.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for
those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury
resulting from accessibility to live parts.The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool.The
terminals meet specified NEMA, ULType, and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with the equivalent
rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type
ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial AutomationWiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation
requirements.
• NEMA 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosure.
ATTENTION: Wiring and Safety Guidelines
Use publication NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety Requirements for EmployeeWorkplaces, IEC 60364 Electrical Installations in
Buildings, or other applicable wiring safety requirements for the country of installation when wiring the devices. In
addition to the NFPA guidelines, here are some other guidelines to follow:
• Connect the device and other similar electronic equipment to its own branch circuit.
• Protect the input power by a fuse or circuit breaker rated at no more than 15 A.
• Route incoming power to the device by a separate path from the communication lines.
• 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 Association.
