Allen-Bradley 2711E-NA3 PanelView 1400e Card Adapter Kit

The Allen-Bradley 2711E-NA3, also cataloged as the 2711E-NA3 ISA Card Adapter Kit, serves as the primary 2711E-NA3 Panel Accessories utilized to execute internal bus adaptation across PanelView 1400e platforms. Designed specifically for Series F and later PanelView 1400e CRT and TFT terminals, it provides the physical mounting bracket and internal electrical interface required to expand communication options using ISA expansion cards (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 main processor logic board and secondary network communication cards. Operating within the internal enclosure, the interface maintains deterministic backplane bus communication velocity and full firmware flash compatibility across terminal system architectures. Integrated circuit layout shielding mitigates internal electromagnetic interference and prevents high-frequency bus noise from corrupting real-time network communications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 2711E-NA3 adapter kit compatible with early Series A-E PanelView 1400e terminals?

A: No, the 2711E-NA3 is engineered specifically for PanelView 1400e Series F and later chassis configurations.

Q: Does the 2711E-NA3 kit include the ControlNet communication interface card?

A: No, the 2711E-NA3 kit provides the internal ISA physical adapter framework; a separate ISA communication card (such as the 1784-KTCS for ControlNet) must be purchased and installed separately.

Q: How is operating power supplied to the 2711E-NA3 adapter board?

A: The adapter draws its required logic operating voltage directly from the internal mainboard expansion bus of the PanelView 1400e host terminal.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. De-energize all primary line power sources connected to the PanelView 1400e terminal prior to opening the enclosure.
2. Remove the rear access chassis panel adhering strictly to standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety protocols.
3. Align the 2711E-NA3 mounting bracket with the internal frame posts and attach the ribbon cable interface to the main motherboard header.
4. Insert the target ISA expansion card (such as the 1784-KTCS) into the adapter slot, securing all mechanical retainers.
5. Replace the chassis rear cover plate, verify frame ground continuity, and reapply input power.
