Remote I/O Communication Module | Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN1

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN1 is a dedicated communication interface module designed for legacy PanelView Plus 400 and 600 operator terminals. This module establishes a direct physical and logical link between the HMI terminal and legacy Remote I/O (RIO) or DH-485 control networks, enabling deterministic data exchange with Allen-Bradley programmable controllers.

Network Protocol and Functionality

This plug-in expansion module supports Allen-Bradley Remote I/O (RIO) network protocols for deterministic pass-through communication and operator interface monitoring. It allows compatible PanelView Plus terminals to replace aging PanelView Standard units on existing RIO scanner architecture, avoiding complete network recabling.

Terminal Integration

The 2711P-RN1 attaches directly to the back of compatible PanelView Plus 400 or 600 logic modules via an integrated edge connector. This modular design simplifies field retrofits and maintains a compact mechanical profile within the control cabinet.
