As a dedicated supplier in the industrial automation sector since 2011, Rossonix Co., Limited is proud to offer genuine Allen-Bradley components to a global clientele. We understand the critical need for reliable and seamless communication in manufacturing environments. The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN8 DH+ Communication Module is engineered specifically to bridge your PanelView Plus Human-Machine Interface (HMI) with legacy Data Highway Plus networks, ensuring your valuable machinery remains integrated and operational without costly system overhauls. This module represents a strategic investment in maintaining productivity and protecting your existing automation infrastructure.
This module is designed as a plug-in communication card for Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus terminals. Its primary function is to provide a native Data Highway Plus (DH+) network interface, enabling direct communication between the HMI and PLCs, drives, and other devices on a DH+ network. This eliminates the need for external gateways or protocol converters, simplifying architecture and reducing potential points of failure. The integration is seamless, allowing operators to monitor and control DH+ connected assets directly from the PanelView Plus screen.
Key Features and Technical Advantages:
Genuine Allen-Bradley Component: Guarantees full compatibility, reliability, and performance as intended by the original manufacturer, ensuring smooth integration with your PanelView Plus HMI and Rockwell Automation ecosystem.
Legacy Network Support: Expertly facilitates connectivity to established Data Highway Plus networks, allowing you to extend the life and utility of your existing control systems while leveraging modern HMI capabilities.
Simplified System Architecture: By serving as an internal module, it reduces cabinet space, wiring complexity, and the component count compared to external communication solutions, leading to a cleaner and more maintainable system.
Reliable Data Exchange: Provides stable and deterministic communication for critical monitoring and control tasks, ensuring real-time data visibility and operator responsiveness on the factory floor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the 2711P-RN8 module compatible with all PanelView Plus models?
A: While designed for the PanelView Plus series, compatibility can depend on the specific terminal model and firmware. It is crucial to verify the compatibility with your exact PanelView Plus part number before purchase. We can assist with this verification.
Q2: What is the difference between this internal module and an external DH+ communication gateway?
A: An internal module like the 2711P-RN8 integrates directly into the HMI, offering a cleaner setup with less wiring and no additional external enclosure or power supply. External gateways are standalone devices that may offer connectivity to multiple protocols but add complexity.
Q3: Can this module be used to connect a PanelView Plus to a DeviceNet or ControlNet network?
A: No, the 2711P-RN8 is specifically designed for Data Highway Plus (DH+) networks. For DeviceNet or ControlNet, you would require their respective dedicated communication modules (e.g., 2711P-RDN or 2711P-RC).
Q4: Do you provide technical support for installing and configuring this module?
A: As a supplier, we provide product specifications and basic integration guidance. For detailed configuration and programming within the PanelView Plus application (using FactoryTalk View ME, for example), you may need to consult your system integrator or refer to Rockwell Automation technical documentation.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for this item?
A: Lead time varies based on stock availability. We maintain inventory for common items and can provide current stock status and estimated shipping timelines upon inquiry, utilizing our efficient shipment channels from Shenzhen or Hong Kong.
Q6: Is the module sold as new and genuine?
A: We specialize in supplying genuine Allen-Bradley components. The module is available as new and factory-sealed. The specific condition (new, refurbished) will be clearly stated in the product offer.
Q7: Can I use this to connect a non-Allen-Bradley HMI to a DH+ network?
A: The 2711P-RN8 is a proprietary module designed exclusively for integration into Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus terminals. It cannot be used as a generic DH+ interface for other brand HMIs or PCs.
Q8: What are my shipping options to North America or Europe?
A: We offer various shipping methods (air, sea, express courier) from our primary ports to destinations worldwide, including North America and Western Europe. We can provide shipping quotes based on your location and urgency.
