Allen-Bradley 2711P-RC3 External CompactFlash Card – PanelView Plus/CE Series
When an HMI terminal loses its storage medium mid-shift, the consequences cascade fast: operators lose access to runtime applications, alarm histories vanish, and production lines halt while maintenance scrambles for a replacement. In process-critical environments — food & beverage lines, water treatment SCADA panels, automotive assembly cells — even a 30-minute unplanned downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RC3 External CompactFlash Card eliminates this single point of failure by providing a robust, field-replaceable non-volatile storage solution engineered specifically for the PanelView Plus and PanelView CE terminal family.
Within the 2711P accessory ecosystem, the 2711P-RC3 occupies the role of primary external storage expansion — enabling operators to store application files, recipe data, alarm logs, and firmware images outside the terminal’s internal memory. As Rockwell Automation’s PanelView Plus platform remains one of the most widely deployed HMI families in global discrete and process manufacturing, the 2711P-RC3 continues to be a mission-critical spare part stocked by maintenance teams across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 2711P-RC3 compatible with PanelView Plus 7 terminals?
A: The 2711P-RC3 is designed for the 2711P PanelView Plus/CE terminal family. Compatibility with specific PanelView Plus 7 models depends on the terminal’s CF slot configuration. Contact us with your exact terminal part number for confirmation.
Q: Can I use a standard commercial CompactFlash card instead of the 2711P-RC3?
A: While some commercial CF cards may function, Rockwell Automation recommends OEM-specified media to ensure compatibility with FactoryTalk View ME and to avoid data corruption risks in industrial environments. The 2711P-RC3 is validated for this application.
Q: What data can be stored on the 2711P-RC3?
A: The card supports storage of FactoryTalk View ME application files, alarm and event logs, recipe data, and firmware images — depending on terminal configuration and software version.
Q: Do you supply both new and refurbished units?
A: Yes. Konmask.com can supply new (factory-sealed), surplus-new (unused, open box), and refurbished (tested) units. Condition and pricing are confirmed at the time of quotation.
Q: How do I transfer my application to a new CF card?
A: Application transfer is performed via FactoryTalk View ME software or directly through the terminal’s file manager. Our technical team can provide guidance — contact us at support@konmask.com.
