PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN8 is a PanelView communication module designed for industrial operator terminal integration. It provides DH+ (Data Highway Plus) communication capabilities to manage network data transfer across automation environments. The unit operates at a nominal power voltage of 24 V DC. It supports a backplane power range spanning from 18 to 32 V DC.
This communication interface features status LEDs that enable quick operational condition monitoring during active network duty. It utilizes a module edge connector for direct plug-in mounting to compatible hardware terminals. Designed for demanding plant floors, it withstands 15 G operating shock and 1 G vibration. The hardware supports maximum operating altitudes up to 2000 meters.
