The Allen-Bradley PanelView 2711P-RP8A logic module can be used as an accessory to further improve the performance of the PanelView Plus 6 Standard series of operator terminals. The logic module is a programmable controller and can be used to increase the degree of automation of an industrial control system. The module is equipped with an installed random access memory capacity of 512 megabytes to ensure excellent performance characteristics and high productivity. The module can be used in conjunction with a graphic operator panel to process information and trigger and initiate specific applications within the control system. The module supports ActiveX controls and can be used for a variety of processing applications. To ensure context-sensitive operator support, the module also contains an in-built PDF reader. This application also improves the flexibility of the system and can be used to display and process information in a readable format.

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP8A logic module improves the performance of the operator terminal to a considerable extent. The module is equipped with DF1 and Ethernet communication protocols that allow the user to configure the operator panel over and Ethernet/IP network. The network offers the user the ability to establish effective communication channels and transfer processed data to remote devices connected over the network. An RS-232 serial port is also present to enhance the communication capabilities of the logic module.

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP8A is an AC-powered logic module. The 700 and 1500 models of PanelView Plus 6 operator terminals are supported by this logic module. The 2711P-RP8A's network interface can communicate via the CompactFlash, Ethernet, and USB ports located on this logic module. The module features blinking indicators for process identification and the ability to perform panel actions. It can even connect to third-party apps with a touch of a button. The 2711P-RP8A has typical features such as a command shell, general dialog, and a PDF reader, as well as advanced features such as remote desktop connectivity, media player options, and a text editor. Make sure the shielded ground connection is connected to a low impedance ground. To avoid losing saved settings, connect the display module when the 2711P-RP8A is powered off. The internal memory storage of this device includes 512 MB of nonvolatile flash memory, as well as 512 MB of RAM (random-access memory). This memory allocation cannot be changed but can be improved by adding CompactFlash memory. RAM is used during operator panel operation, while flash memory is used to store files and HMI data. It has power connections for connecting external supply voltages from 100 to 240 volts AC with a frequency of 50 to 60 hertz. Operating this module in a dry and dust-free environment is highly recommended to avoid affecting its performance. The manufacturer recommends operating this module in an environment with an ambient temperature that ranges from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius.
