Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP2 is a logic module engineered for the PanelView Plus family of operator terminals. It is designed to be mounted on the back of a display module from the Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 700, 1000, 1250, or 1500 series. This logic module is equipped with 128 MB of flash memory and 128 MB of RAM. This combination enables secure storage and fast runtime performance for HMI applications across manufacturing, process control, and discrete automation environments.
