Configured for DC-powered logic execution in the PanelView Plus 6 700-1500 platform, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP8D (2711P-RP8D Logic Module) provides the processing hardware for compatible PanelView Plus 6 terminals. Rockwell Automation identifies this catalog number as a DC-input logic module with Windows CE 6.0 and no options.

Product Identification

The 2711P-RP8D is a PanelView Plus 6 700-1500 logic module. It is not an 8-inch display module; the display and logic module are separate hardware components in this product family. Rockwell Automation lists the 2711P-RP8D as discontinued effective September 30, 2023.

Hardware Specifications

Rockwell documentation identifies the 2711P-RP8D as having 1 GB flash and 512 MB RAM, while the current product page separately describes 80 MB of nonvolatile application storage.

Industrial Control Platform Compatibility

The RP8D provides the computing section of a PanelView Plus 6 700-1500 terminal. Its electrical interface is based on DC power input, while display functionality depends on the separately selected compatible display hardware. Rockwell documentation lists the RP8D among the DC logic modules compatible with PanelView Plus display modules.

The PanelView Plus 6 architecture separates display modules, logic modules, and communication modules. Therefore, the RP8D should not be treated as a complete HMI terminal when specifying replacement hardware.

Ordering Information

• 1 x Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP8D PanelView Plus 6 Logic Module
• 1 x Compatible PanelView Plus 6 terminal assembly is required for complete HMI operation
• Compatible display and communication modules are selected separately according to the terminal configuration
• No additional options are identified for catalog number 2711P-RP8D

Installation and Replacement Guidelines

DC Power Connection

• Verify that the replacement assembly uses the required DC power architecture.
• Follow the PanelView Plus installation documentation for power wiring and grounding.
• Rockwell recommends an isolated and ungrounded DC source for nonisolated DC terminals to reduce ground-loop current.
• Use a SELV or PELV power source where required by the applicable installation code.

Module Installation

• Disconnect power before removing or installing the logic module.
• Confirm the display module and communication configuration are compatible with the replacement logic module.
• Verify catalog number and hardware configuration before applying power.
• Keep signal and power wiring separated according to the installation documentation.

Technical Questions

• Is the 2711P-RP8D a complete HMI terminal?

  No. It is the logic module for PanelView Plus 6 700-1500 terminals. A compatible display module is required for a complete operator terminal.

• Does the 2711P-RP8D use AC or DC power?

  The 2711P-RP8D is a DC-input logic module. Rockwell specifically lists DC power input for this catalog number.

• How much memory does the RP8D have?

  Rockwell installation documentation identifies the RP8D with 1 GB flash and 512 MB RAM. This differs from the 512 MB Flash/RAM description supplied in the original product data.

• Does the RP8D contain the display?

  No. The RP8D is a logic module. PanelView Plus 6 display modules use separate catalog numbers and are mechanically combined with the logic module.

• Can the RP8D be replaced while the terminal is powered?

  Power should be removed before module replacement. Follow the PanelView Plus installation procedure and verify the terminal configuration before re-energizing the assembly.

• Is the RP8D compatible with PanelView Plus display modules?

  Yes. Rockwell documentation identifies 2711P-RP8D as a compatible DC logic module for PanelView Plus 6 display configurations.

• Does the RP8D include extended features?

  The 2711P-RP8D is listed as the standard logic module without options. The related RP9D is identified separately for extended-feature configurations.

• Is the 2711P-RP8D still an active model?

  No. Rockwell Automation lists the 2711P-RP8D under the discontinued PanelView Plus 6 700-1500 logic module family, with discontinuation dated September 30, 2023.
