Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP1 /G is a logic module that powers the memory and processing capability of PanelView Plus operator terminals. Manufactured by Rockwell Automation, this module contains the processor, power-supply circuitry, and communication interfaces required for real-time HMI operation. It integrates seamlessly with PanelView Plus 700, 1000, 1250, and 1500 display modules and serves as a direct replacement for failed or worn-out modules.
Key Features
- 64 MB RAM + 64 MB Flash Memory — sufficient for complex graphical screens, recipes, logs, and applications in most industrial environments
- 24VDC single power input — standard industrial supply, externally powered with 100–240V AC support
- Integrated Ethernet port — EtherNet/IP communication to PLCs, PACs, and networked controllers up to 100 meters
- RS-232 (9-pin mini DIN) + 2× USB ports — peer-to-peer serial links and peripheral device connectivity
- CompactFlash card slot — expandable storage for application backups, system files, and data logs
- Status indicators — built-in LED diagnostics for quick fault identification
- Wide operating temperature range — 0 °C to 55 °C (32 °F to 131 °F) for stable performance in typical industrial enclosures

Compatibility & Replacements
The 2711P-RP1 /G is compatible with PanelView Plus 700, 1000, 1250, and 1500 terminals. It replaces the pre-installed logic module in any of these units and serves as a spare or upgrade. Key compatibility notes:
- Display Module Pairing: Works with corresponding display modules (2711P-T7C series, 2711P-T10C series, etc.); confirm display catalog number before ordering
- Software Version: FactoryTalk View ME 5.1 or earlier required; not compatible with FactoryTalk View Studio or Site Edition
- Upgrade Path: For higher memory requirements, consider the 2711P-RP2 (128 MB Flash) for data-intensive logging and recipe storage
- Not Compatible: PanelView Plus 6 terminals use a different architecture and are not supported
- Certification: Complies with Rockwell Automation standards and industrial EMC/CE requirements for Panel-mounted control systems
