Application software used to develop and download application to this operator terminal is the PanelBuilder32 software. This software allows design of graphical user interface offline without the need of the physical hardware. This shortens and maximizes engineering time as internal tests may also be done without the need of the physical hardware.
The 2711-K5A2 has an internal Random Access Memory (RAM) amounting to 170KB and a non-volatile memory with size of 240KB which is used to save applications and system files such as trends, logs and user manuals.
