Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP2K PanelView Plus 6 Logic Module

Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP2K PanelView Plus 6 Logic Module

Configured for terminal processing and application execution in PanelView Plus 6 700 to 1500 terminals, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP2K (2711P-RP2K PanelView Plus 6 Logic Module) provides the processor, memory, and communication interfaces required for terminal operation. The K suffix identifies the conformal-coated version.

Hardware Specifications

Conformal Coating and Hardware Protection

The 2711P-RP2K incorporates conformal coating on the internal printed circuit board assemblies. The coating provides additional PCB protection against moisture, dust, and mildly corrosive atmospheric exposure. It does not change the specified supply voltage, communication interfaces, or terminal mounting requirements.

The logic module provides one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface for EtherNet/IP communication, programming, and network connection. The RS-232 interface provides direct serial communication using supported DF1 or DH-485 connections. Two USB 2.0 Host ports support peripheral devices such as flash drives, keyboards, mice, and barcode scanners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What supply voltage is specified for the 2711P-RP2K?
A: The supplied data specifies 18-32 VDC input with 24 VDC nominal operation and a maximum power consumption of 70 W.

Q: What communication interfaces are integrated into the logic module?
A: The module has one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port, one RS-232 DB9 serial port, two USB 2.0 Host Type A ports, and one SD card slot.

Q: Does the 2711P-RP2K include conformal coating?
A: Yes. The K suffix identifies the conformal-coated version of the logic module.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the logic module in accordance with the PanelView Plus 6 terminal mechanical and electrical installation requirements. Verify that the terminal is de-energized before module removal or installation.

Use a 24 VDC supply within the specified 18-32 VDC input range. Route DC power and communication wiring to minimize coupling from high-current switching conductors, motor leads, and other sources of electrical interference.

For Ethernet connections, use suitable industrial Ethernet cabling and maintain appropriate separation from power wiring. For RS-232 connections, keep serial wiring away from high-energy conductors and connect the cable shield according to the applicable control-panel grounding practice.

The conformal coating provides additional PCB protection but does not eliminate the need for enclosure protection, correct grounding, environmental control, and proper cable routing.

The supplied data contains conflicting memory figures: the detailed specification table states 512 MB RAM and 512 MB flash, while a separate source line states 128 MB RAM and 128 MB flash. The memory values should therefore be verified against the applicable Rockwell Automation hardware documentation before engineering release.
