Engineering and Application Notes
The 2711P-RP1 (2711P-RP1) is a legacy-standard component, often found in aging infrastructure within the material handling and pharmaceutical sectors. Its modular architecture is a key advantage; if a display fails, the logic module can be swapped onto a new screen, preserving the application software and communication settings. It is critical to ensure that the 24V DC power supply used is stable and meets the high peak power dissipation requirements of the module and display combination.
Hardware Compatibility FAQ
-
What is the difference between this and the 2711P-RP8D?The 2711P-RP1 (2711P-RP1) is for original PanelView Plus units with 64MB memory, while the 2711P-RP8D is designed for the PanelView Plus 6 series with expanded memory and faster processing. They are not interchangeable.
-
Can the internal memory be replaced?Yes, the RAM is socketed and can be replaced or upgraded to accommodate larger, more graphic-intensive HMI projects.
