Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace 2711-B6C2 with 2711-B6C1 directly?
A: Functionally yes, but the B6C1 requires a 24 VDC supply. If your panel only has AC power, you will need an additional DC power supply or use the B6C2 (AC) variant.
Q: Will my existing PanelBuilder 32 application work on a replacement unit?
A: Yes, for any 2711-B6Cx series replacement. For PanelView Plus (2711P) replacements, application conversion using FactoryTalk View ME is required.
Q: Is the 2711-B6C2 still in production?
A: This model has been discontinued by Rockwell Automation. Konmask.com supplies new-surplus and refurbished units with full testing and warranty.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–2 business days. Out-of-stock items typically have a 3–7 business day sourcing lead time.
Q: Can you supply the 2711-B6C2 with a CE declaration of conformity?
A: Yes. CE documentation is available upon request for all units supplied.
