Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 2711P-RP8A is the correct module for your application:
- Step 1 — Confirm Display Size: The 2711P-RP8A is designed for 700, 1000, 1250, and 1500 display modules only. For 400 or 600 displays, select 2711P-RP7A.
- Step 2 — Check Firmware Revision: Verify the existing terminal firmware version. Replacement modules must match or exceed the installed revision to avoid runtime errors.
- Step 3 — Identify Communication Requirements: If DLR or dual-port Ethernet is required, confirm the replacement module includes dual Ethernet ports (2711P-RP8A and 2711P-RP8D both qualify).
- Step 4 — Assess Memory Needs: For applications with large graphics libraries (>200 MB), consider the 2711P-RP8D with expanded memory.
- Step 5 — Verify Application Backup: Always back up the existing FactoryTalk View ME application before swapping logic modules.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace just the logic module without replacing the entire PanelView Plus 6 terminal?
A: Yes. The 2711P-RP8A is a field-replaceable module. The display module and bezel remain in place; only the logic module is swapped. Refer to Rockwell publication 2711P-IN006 for installation instructions.
Q: Will my existing FactoryTalk View ME application run on a replacement 2711P-RP8A?
A: Yes, provided the firmware revision on the replacement module is equal to or higher than the original. Restore your application backup via USB or FactoryTalk View ME after installation.
Q: Is the 2711P-RP8A compatible with PanelView Plus 7 displays?
A: No. PanelView Plus 7 uses a different logic module platform (2711R series). The 2711P-RP8A is not mechanically or electrically compatible with Plus 7 displays.
Q: What is the difference between 2711P-RP8A and 2711P-RP8D?
A: The 2711P-RP8D offers expanded application memory, making it suitable for graphics-intensive applications. Both modules are mechanically identical and compatible with the same display sizes.
Q: Do you offer a warranty on refurbished units?
A: Yes. Refurbished 2711P-RP8A units carry a 90-day functional warranty. New units follow the manufacturer’s standard warranty terms. Contact us for details.
Q: Can I use a 2711P-RP8A from a 1000 display on a 1500 display?
A: Yes. The logic module is common across the 700–1500 display size range and is interchangeable between these models.
