Allen-Bradley 2711P-RW1 PanelView Plus 64 MB Compact Flash Memory Module

Product Overview

The 2711P-RW1 functions as a dedicated internal Compact Flash memory module designed specifically for the Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE platforms. This 64 MB industrial-grade card provides the primary storage space for the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) runtime environment, application files, and operating system data. It installs directly into the logic module of the terminal to ensure high-speed data access during HMI boot-up and process visualization. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and factory-original, guaranteeing the read/write endurance required for continuous industrial operation.

Technical Specifications

The 2711P-RW1 utilizes high-integrity flash architecture to withstand the rigorous power cycles of plant-floor environments.

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Runtime Stability: The 2711P-RW1 stores the compiled HMI application, allowing for rapid loading of complex graphic displays and alarm logs. The industrial-grade flash controller prevents the data corruption often associated with consumer-grade storage cards.

• Seamless Hardware Integration: This module fits perfectly into the dedicated internal slot of the PanelView Plus logic module. It requires no external power or cabling, maintaining the HMI’s compact form factor while providing essential non-volatile storage.

• Vibration and Thermal Resistance: Unlike mechanical storage media, this solid-state module withstands the high-vibration environments typical of machine-mounted operator terminals. It operates reliably across the full temperature range specified for the PanelView Plus series.

• Direct Legacy Support: For facilities maintaining older PanelView Plus hardware (Series A-J), the 2711P-RW1 provides the exact firmware-compatible storage needed to keep legacy terminals operational without the need for expensive system-wide upgrades.

FAQs

• Does the 2711P-RW1 support Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)?

  No. You must power down the terminal before installing or removing the 2711P-RW1. Performing this action while the unit is live risks permanent data loss or damage to the HMI logic module.

• What tools do I need for installation?

  Installation requires standard #00, #1, or #2 Phillips screwdrivers to access the logic module. Most importantly, always wear an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wristband during installation to prevent static damage to the sensitive flash circuitry.

• Can I use a standard off-the-shelf Compact Flash card instead?

  While standard cards may fit the slot, Rockwell Automation designs the 2711P-RW1 with specific industrial wear-leveling and timing parameters. Using non-approved cards often leads to "Module Not Found" errors or premature card failure during intensive data-logging tasks.

• Is this card pre-loaded with firmware?

  This module serves as raw storage. You must transfer the appropriate PanelView Plus firmware and your specific application files using the FactoryTalk View ME Transfer Utility after installation.
