Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN10H PanelView Plus DeviceNet Module

The 2711P-RN10H is an add-on DeviceNet communication module engineered for Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE operator terminals in display sizes from 700 to 1500. It mounts directly onto the terminal's logic module, providing network interface capabilities to exchange control data and operator commands with programmable automation controllers across a DeviceNet network.

Network Integration and Functionality

The module supports standard DeviceNet protocol communication rates of 125 Kbps, 250 Kbps, and 500 Kbps. It enables the host PanelView Plus terminal to communicate with controllers like ControlLogix and PLC-5 systems using Unscheduled messaging over CIP or PCCC protocols. Front-panel LED indicators display real-time module status, network activity, and I/O diagnostic conditions.

Mechanical and Installation Requirements

Designed as a snap-on expansion component, the 2711P-RN10H attaches directly to the back of the terminal's base logic assembly without requiring external power cables. DeviceNet field wiring connects via a standard 5-pin linear unsealed plug. Power for the module logic is drawn internally from the host terminal base, while network line power is provided separately through the DeviceNet bus cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which PanelView Plus terminals are compatible with the 2711P-RN10H module? A: It is compatible with PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE terminals ranging from 700 to 1500 display sizes. Smaller 400 and 600 models require a different module (2711P-RN10C).

Q: How is power supplied to the 2711P-RN10H module? A: Module logic power is drawn directly through the connection interface with the host terminal's logic module, while network transceiver power is supplied via the standard DeviceNet 24 VDC trunk line.
