Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP1 is a PanelView Plus logic module that serves as the processor and memory backbone of PanelView Plus 700, 1000, 1250, and 1500 operator terminals. This DC-powered module attaches to the rear of the display via PCI slot connection and combines 64 MB flash and 64 MB RAM for runtime operation and file storage. Originally discontinued December 31, 2012, surplus units remain available for legacy system maintenance and repair.
Key Features
- Dual Memory: 64 MB Flash (application storage) + 64 MB RAM (runtime interface)—lower capacity than 2711P-RP2 but sufficient for standard applications
- Multi-Port Connectivity: One Ethernet port, one RS-232 serial port, two USB 2.0 ports, and CompactFlash card slot for expanded storage and external peripherals
- PanelView Plus Compatible: Drop-in replacement for PV Plus 700–1500 series; not compatible with PanelView Plus 6 terminals
- Single Application Platform: Designed for dedicated HMI applications with built-in status indicators for diagnostics
- Industrial-Grade Processor: Supports complex mathematical and logical expressions; integrates DeviceNet, ControlNet, and DH+ communication protocols

Typical Applications
The 2711P-RP1 is deployed in:
- Food and beverage processing plants requiring multi-screen operator interfaces
- Automotive manufacturing lines with distributed HMI control points
- Pharmaceutical production systems needing alarm logging and historical data retention
- Packaging machinery with recipe management and production reporting
- Water treatment facilities using networked process monitoring
Compatibility & Replacements
The 2711P-RP1 is a true replacement part for PanelView Plus 700–1500 operator terminals. When replacing, remove the communication module first as per Allen-Bradley guidance. Static-sensitive components require proper ESD grounding during installation.
Related Modules:
- 2711P-RP1A: AC-powered variant (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz)
- 2711P-RP2: Upgraded model with 128 MB flash and 128 MB RAM for larger applications
- 2711P-RP1D, 2711P-RP1X: Regional/variant designations of the DC model
As a discontinued product, the 2711P-RP1 is available only through surplus and refurbished channels. Many used units retain original firmware and are serviceable for legacy installations. Units come without original manufacturer warranty but are typically backed by distributor 2-year coverage.
