Allen-Bradley 2711E-NA1 Panel Accessories

The Allen-Bradley 2711E-NA1, also cataloged as the 2711E-NA1 ISA Card Adapter Kit, operates as a dedicated hardware component for internal communication expansion within PanelView 1400e platforms. Designed specifically for Series A-E PanelView 1400e terminals, it provides the physical mounting assembly, corner structural support, and copper electromagnetic shielding gasket required to integrate an ISA expansion card (such as the 1784-KTCS ControlNet ISA interface card).

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity Licences & Network Compatibility

The adapter hardware establishes dedicated physical layer execution between the PanelView 1400e Series A-E main logic board and secondary network communication cards. Operating within the terminal chassis, the expansion interface maintains deterministic backplane bus communication velocity and full firmware flash compatibility across terminal system architectures. The included copper gasket provides continuous 360-degree electromagnetic shielding to suppress high-frequency noise transients and ground potential shifts across external network connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 2711E-NA1 adapter kit compatible with Series F or later PanelView 1400e terminals?

A: No, the 2711E-NA1 is engineered exclusively for PanelView 1400e Series A through E terminals. Series F and later terminals require the 2711E-NA3 adapter kit.

Q: What is the purpose of the copper gasket included in the 2711E-NA1 kit?

A: The copper gasket provides critical electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding around the card adapter interface to prevent noise coupling between the expansion card and internal logic circuitry.

Q: Does the 2711E-NA1 adapter kit include the 1784-KTCS ControlNet communication card?

A: No, the 2711E-NA1 kit supplies the physical adapter, corner support, and EMI gasket; the 1784-KTCS ControlNet ISA interface card must be sourced separately.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Disconnect all main power sources and external signal cables from the PanelView 1400e terminal prior to opening the enclosure.
2. Remove the rear chassis cover, adhering strictly to standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.
3. Install the copper EMI gasket and corner support bracket onto the designated internal chassis mounting post.
4. Align the 2711E-NA1 adapter board over the expansion header and press firmly until fully seated, securing it with the provided hardware.
5. Insert the target ISA interface card (e.g., 1784-KTCS) into the adapter slot, secure the retainer, and reinstall the chassis rear cover plate.
