- Multi-language Support: Runtime language switching supports global deployment without application re-download.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 2711P-RDT12C4D9 operates as a display-only terminal (no integrated logic controller), communicating upstream via EtherNet/IP to Allen-Bradley ControlLogix (1756), CompactLogix (1769), or MicroLogix PLCs. The dual-port Ethernet switch allows the HMI to sit inline on the device-level ring (DLR) or linear EtherNet/IP network without consuming an additional switch port.
Tag-based communication maps PLC controller tags directly to HMI display objects via FactoryTalk View ME tag database, supporting both online (live PLC) and offline (simulation) modes. USB Host ports support application transfer, data logging to USB drives, and peripheral device connection (barcode scanners, printers).

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 2711P-RDT12C4D9 compatible with RSView32 applications?
A: No. RSView32 applications require conversion to FactoryTalk View ME format using the ME Transfer Utility before deployment on PanelView Plus 7 terminals.
Q: Can this panel communicate with third-party PLCs (Siemens, Mitsubishi)?
A: Natively, the panel supports Allen-Bradley protocols (EtherNet/IP, DF1). Third-party PLC communication requires a protocol gateway or OPC server middleware.
Q: What is the difference between 2711P-RDT12C4D9 and 2711P-T12C4D9?
A: The “RDT” suffix denotes a display-only terminal (no keypad), while “T” variants include function keys. Both share the same 12.1″ display and processing hardware.
Q: Is a FactoryTalk View ME license included?
A: The runtime license is embedded in the terminal firmware. A separate FactoryTalk View Studio development license is required for application creation on an engineering workstation.
Q: What is the recommended replacement for end-of-life PanelView Plus 6 units?
A: The PanelView Plus 7 Standard series (including 2711P-RDT12C4D9) is the direct migration path. Existing ME applications are compatible with minimal modification.
