Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN15S ControlNet Communication Module
The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN15S is a dedicated ControlNet communication module designed to add network connectivity to PanelView Plus operator terminals (700 through 1500 series). It installs directly into the expansion slot of a PanelView Plus logic module to establish dual-channel ControlNet communication with programmable automation controllers and distributed I/O systems.
Network Architecture and Functional Overview
The module features two ControlNet BNC connectors to support scheduled, deterministic messaging over coaxial physical media. Operating on a ControlNet media architecture, it enables high-speed data transfer of process tags, alarm status, and HMI display data between the operator terminal and ControlLogix or PLC-5 control systems.
By installing this module, the host PanelView Plus terminal can function as a ControlNet node without consuming additional external gateways or protocol converters. Redundant channel routing is handled at the network level via the dual BNC interface.
