2711P-RW7 | Allen Bradley | PanelView Plus CE 256MB Internal CompactFlash

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2711P-RW7 serves as a high-performance internal storage solution specifically engineered for PanelView Plus CE logic modules. This 256 MB CompactFlash card functions as the core system drive, housing both the open Windows CE operating system and the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) runtime environment. It enables advanced HMI functionalities, allowing users to execute desktop-style applications and sophisticated data handling tasks directly on the factory floor interface.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Integrated Software Ecosystem: This module eliminates the complexity of manual OS installation. It arrives pre-configured with Windows CE and FactoryTalk View ME, allowing engineers to bypass software setup and proceed directly to application deployment.

• Enhanced System Flexibility: Unlike standard PanelView units, the 2711P-RW7 enables an "Open" Windows CE environment. This allows the HMI to run third-party viewers, terminal services, and custom scripts, effectively bridging the gap between a standard HMI and an Industrial PC.

• Industrial-Grade Endurance: The CompactFlash architecture provides high vibration and shock resistance. It withstands the rigorous thermal cycles found in industrial control cabinets, ensuring data integrity where standard consumer-grade flash media fails.

• Rapid Disaster Recovery: The 2711P-RW7 acts as a complete system clone. In the event of a logic module failure, maintenance teams simply swap the card into a new module to restore full system operation in minutes, drastically reducing costly downtime.

FAQs

• Is this 2711P-RW7 card ready for immediate use?

  Yes. Every unit is 100% Brand New and comes pre-loaded with the necessary Windows CE OS and FactoryTalk View ME software. You can install it directly into a compatible PanelView Plus CE logic module.

• Can I use this card in a standard PanelView Plus (Non-CE) module?

  No. The 2711P-RW7 specifically supports the CE version of the logic modules. Standard modules use different internal firmware and memory configurations.

• Does this card include the license for FactoryTalk View ME?

  The card contains the software runtime environment. You must ensure your logic module or system configuration includes the appropriate activation for the FactoryTalk View ME station.

• What is the benefit of the "Open" Windows CE version on this card?

  The open version provides access to the Windows desktop, file manager, and control panel. This allows you to manage files locally, use web browsers, or run custom executable files that standard HMIs cannot support.
