Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP2 – PanelView Plus 6 Logic Module | Rockwell Automation HMI Platform
Engineering Background
In a modern manufacturing facility, the HMI terminal is the nerve center of every production line. When the logic module of a PanelView Plus terminal fails, operators lose visibility into process variables, alarm states, and control commands simultaneously. Production halts. Maintenance teams scramble. Every minute of unplanned downtime translates directly into lost output and escalating labor costs. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RP2 is the field-replaceable logic module that restores full HMI functionality without replacing the entire terminal assembly — making it one of the most cost-critical spare parts in any Rockwell Automation-based plant.
Product Positioning
The 2711P-RP2 is the standard logic module for the PanelView Plus 6 series — Rockwell Automation’s flagship operator interface platform deployed across tens of thousands of industrial sites worldwide. As the computational core of the terminal, it houses the processor, memory, and communication stack that runs FactoryTalk View ME applications. Within the 2711P-RP product family, the RP2 variant delivers the processing headroom required for complex graphical displays, multi-tag polling, and simultaneous Ethernet/IP communication — making it the preferred choice for mid-to-large scale SCADA and machine control applications.

Engineering Advantages
- Field-Replaceable Design: Swap the logic module without disturbing panel wiring or the display assembly — minimizing MTTR (Mean Time to Repair)
- Application Portability: FactoryTalk View ME projects are stored on the module; replacement restores the exact operator interface without reprogramming
- Backward Compatibility: Compatible with existing 2711P-series terminal housings and display panels already installed in the field
- Rockwell Ecosystem Integration: Native EtherNet/IP connectivity enables seamless communication with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and MicroLogix PLCs
- Reduced Spare Parts Inventory Cost: One logic module can serve multiple terminal sizes within the 2711P family, simplifying spare parts strategy
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 2711P-RP2 logic module interfaces directly with the PanelView Plus 6 terminal backplane. Upon power-up, the module initializes the FactoryTalk View ME runtime, loads the configured application from onboard flash memory, and establishes communication with the target controller via the configured network adapter. Tag data is polled cyclically from the PLC over EtherNet/IP, rendered on the display, and operator inputs are written back to controller tags in real time. The module also manages alarm logging, trend data buffering, and user authentication — all without dependency on an external PC or server.
Typical integration path: ControlLogix / CompactLogix PLC → EtherNet/IP network → 2711P-RP2 Logic Module → PanelView Plus 6 Display → Operator
Sourcing & Quality Verification
At Konmask.com, every Allen-Bradley module sourced for B2B customers undergoes a structured verification process before shipment:
- Visual inspection for physical damage, counterfeit markings, and label authenticity

Technical FAQ
- Q: Is the 2711P-RP2 compatible with all PanelView Plus 6 terminal sizes?
- A: The 2711P-RP2 is designed for the PanelView Plus 6 product family. Compatibility depends on the specific terminal model. Please confirm your terminal part number when submitting your inquiry so we can verify fit.
- Q: Will my existing FactoryTalk View ME application transfer to a replacement module?
- A: Yes — if you have a backup of your application (.MER file), it can be loaded onto the replacement module via a USB drive or network transfer. If the original module is partially functional, the application may also be backed up before replacement.
- Q: Do you supply firmware update support?
- A: We can advise on firmware compatibility. Firmware updates for Rockwell Automation products are managed through the official FactoryTalk Activation and Rockwell Software portals. We recommend consulting your Rockwell distributor for licensed firmware access.
- Q: What is the lead time for the 2711P-RP2?
- A: Lead time varies by stock availability. Submit an inquiry for a real-time availability check. We maintain stock of high-demand Rockwell Automation modules to support urgent MRO requirements.
- Q: Can you provide a certificate of conformance or test report?
- A: Yes. A quality inspection report is available upon request for enterprise and EPC procurement teams.
