As a seasoned supplier in the industrial automation sector since 2011, Rossonix Co., Limited is proud to present the genuine 2711-B6C10 Communication Module. This module is engineered to expand the connectivity of your Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus human-machine interface (HMI) terminals, enabling seamless integration into DeviceNet networks while providing a dedicated RS-232 port for direct printer connectivity. This dual-functionality is crucial for operations requiring real-time data exchange and hardcopy documentation of process parameters, alarms, or production reports.
Our expertise in serving global markets, from North America and Europe to Asia and Oceania, has shown us the critical need for reliable and versatile communication solutions. The 2711-B6C10 module directly addresses this by bridging the gap between high-level HMIs and factory-floor DeviceNet devices, such as sensors, drives, and valves, while simultaneously offering a straightforward path to documentation via serial printers. This module is an essential component for building transparent, efficient, and well-documented automated systems.
Core Features and Technical Advantages:
- Dual-Purpose Design: Integrates both a DeviceNet scanner interface and a standard RS-232 serial port into a single, compact module, saving panel space and simplifying wiring.
- Seamless PanelView Plus Integration: Designed specifically for the 2711 series PanelView Plus terminals. Once installed, it is recognized and configured directly through the terminal's configuration software (FactoryTalk View Studio), ensuring hassle-free setup.
- Robust DeviceNet Connectivity: Allows the PanelView Plus to act as a node on a DeviceNet network, facilitating real-time data monitoring and control of connected devices. This enables centralized visualization of distributed I/O.
- Direct Printer Output: The RS-232 port provides a reliable connection to serial printers for on-demand or triggered printing of screens, alarm logs, production data, and shift reports, creating a permanent physical record.
- Enhanced System Diagnostics: Provides status indicators for both communication channels, aiding in quick troubleshooting and maintenance of the network and printer connections.
- Industrial Durability: Built to withstand the electrical noise and mechanical vibrations typical of industrial environments, ensuring long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Is this module compatible with all PanelView Plus models?
The 2711-B6C10 is designed for the 2711 series of PanelView Plus terminals. Compatibility with specific screen sizes (e.g., 6-inch, 10-inch) within the series should be verified. It is not compatible with older PanelView Standard or newer PanelView 5000/Plus 7 models. -
What is the main purpose of the RS-232 port on this module?
The primary function is to connect directly to a serial printer. This allows the HMI to print screens, alarm histories, data logs, or production reports directly, creating physical records without needing a network print server. -
Can I use the DeviceNet and RS-232 ports simultaneously?
Yes, both ports are independent and can be used at the same time. The HMI can be scanning devices on the DeviceNet network while sending print jobs to a connected serial printer. -
What software is needed to configure this module?
Configuration is performed within the HMI project file using Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk View Studio software. The module's properties, such as DeviceNet scan rate and printer settings, are set up in the communication configuration section. -
Does this module require external power?
No, it draws power directly from the PanelView Plus terminal's internal backplane, simplifying installation. -
What type of printer can I connect to the RS-232 port?
Any printer with a standard RS-232 serial interface and support for plain text or line print commands (e.g., many industrial and receipt printers) can be used. The specific printer driver or command set must be configured in the HMI application. -
Is the DeviceNet connector included?
Typically, the module itself has a built-in terminal block or connector for the DeviceNet network. The DeviceNet network cable and connectors are usually sourced separately based on your network layout. -
Can this module be added to an existing PanelView Plus terminal?
Yes, if the terminal has an available communication module slot. Installation involves powering down the HMI, inserting the module into the slot, and reconfiguring the HMI project to recognize and use the new module.
Backed by Rossonix Co., Limited's commitment to quality and supported by an ISO9001 certified quality management system, you can be confident in the authenticity and performance of the 2711-B6C10 module.
