Allen Bradley 2711P-RN15S PanelView Plus ControlNet Communication Module

Product Introduction

The Allen Bradley 2711P-RN15S PanelView Plus ControlNet Communication Module is a dedicated communication expansion module designed for PanelView Plus operator terminals. It enables reliable ControlNet network connectivity, supporting deterministic communication for industrial automation systems that require stable, high-speed data exchange between HMI terminals and controllers.

This module is widely used in Rockwell Automation architectures where ControlNet networks are deployed, ensuring synchronized communication and real-time control performance. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with PanelView Plus 700–1500, PanelView Plus 6 700–1500, and PanelView Plus CE 700–1500 series terminals.

The module features dual-channel architecture (Channel A and Channel B), providing redundancy support and enhanced communication reliability in demanding industrial environments.
