Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN15S is an optional ControlNet communication module that serves as a critical network interface for PanelView Plus HMI terminals. This optional adapter is compatible for use with PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE operator terminals. It may only be installed with PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE with display screens ranging from 7 inches to 15 inches or PanelView Plus 700-1500 as these operator terminals support additional modular communication. The module enables seamless data exchange and real-time control within networked automation environments.
Key Features
- Two (2) ControlNet communication ports, channels A and B with One (1) RJ45 Network Access Port (NAP) used for module configuration.
- This communication module specifically supports the ControlNet protocol.
- ControlNet redundancy ensures the reliability of the communication network. If one communication path fails, the system can automatically switch to the backup path, minimizing downtime.
- Supports fast and efficient communication with a data rate of up to 5 Mbps, ensuring timely data exchange between control systems.
- The 2711P-RN15S is marine certified.
Technical Specifications
- Dual ControlNet channels (Channel A and Channel B)
- Network Access Port: RJ45 connector
- Data Rate: Up to 5 Mbps
- Network Protocol: ControlNet using Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
- IP20 rating for protection against dust and solid objects.
- Weighs 3 pounds and has dimensions of 11 by 8 by 6 inches.
- Certifications: CE, UL, CUL, KC, GOST, MARINE
Typical Applications
- Real-time industrial control networks requiring ControlNet communication
- Manufacturing and process automation with redundant control requirements
- Marine and hazardous location applications requiring certification
- HMI-to-PLC data exchange in multi-device automation systems
- Distributed control systems where network reliability is critical
