PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN15S is a ControlNet communication adapter designed for PanelView terminals. It connects directly to PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE operator terminals. Compatible display sizes range from 7 inches to 15 inches across the 700 to 1500 terminal families. The module mounts directly on top of the terminal logic module to add network communication capability.
This communication adapter uses the Common Industrial Protocol to combine input and output network functionality. It provides two ControlNet ports for media redundancy along with an RJ45 network access port. The hardware supports scheduled and unscheduled messaging across nodes 1 through 99. It communicates with the host controller through standard input and output data structures.

PRODUCT FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which terminals are compatible with the 2711P-RN15S adapter?
It is compatible with PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE terminals with 7-inch to 15-inch displays.
Does the 2711P-RN15S support removal and insertion under power?
No, removal and insertion under power is not supported. Power must be disconnected before installation or removal.
What software version is needed for scheduled ControlNet messaging?
PanelView Plus 700 to 1500 terminals require RSView Studio v3.20 or later and Runtime v3.20.04.43 or later.
Can multiple ControlNet networks connect to a single 2711P-RN15S module?
No. Connecting more than one ControlNet network to the module causes communication errors.
