Allen-Bradley 2711P-RW7 Compact Flash Units
Configured for high-speed non-volatile memory expansion and system firmware execution in Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus CE operator terminals, the Allen-Bradley 2711P-RW7, also cataloged as the 2711PRW7 Internal Compact Flash Unit, provides direct physical/electrical execution.
Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix
- 2711P: PanelView Plus operator interface series product line accessory designation.
- RW7: Internal non-volatile Compact Flash memory card rated at 256 MB capacity pre-loaded with open Windows CE operating system and FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime environment.
Hardware Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 2711P-RW7 |
| Brand | Allen-Bradley |
| Origin | USA / Global Manufacturing Facility |
| Weight | 0.31 lbs (0.14 kg) |
| Dimensions | Standard Compact Flash Type I form factor |
| Operating Temp | 0 deg C to 50 deg C |

Firmware Flash Compatibility and Deterministic Networks
The internal Compact Flash memory card interfaces directly with the CE Logic Module system bus to store runtime application files, firmware images, and system operating parameters. Firmware flash compatibility ensures deterministic boot sequences and immediate execution of FactoryTalk View ME application runtime files. The solid-state architecture maintains fast sector read/write cycle rates, eliminating processing bottlenecks during real-time parameter logging and alarm history transfers across connected EtherNet/IP networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Allen-Bradley 2711P-RW7 Compact Flash card be inserted or removed while the terminal logic module is powered?
A: No. System power to the operator terminal logic module must be fully disconnected prior to inserting or removing the internal Compact Flash card to prevent file system corruption and socket interface pin damage.
Q: What operating system and software environment are pre-installed on the 2711P-RW7?
A: The card comes factory-loaded with an open Windows CE operating system environment alongside FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime software.
Q: What memory capacity is provided by the 2711P-RW7 module?
A: The module provides 256 MB of non-volatile solid-state flash memory dedicated to OS boot files, firmware runtime, and project storage.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Power Isolation: Disconnect all AC and DC primary power sources from the PanelView Plus terminal prior to accessing the internal logic module.
- ESD Protection: Wear an approved anti-static wrist strap connected to an earth ground point on the cabinet frame before handling the card.
- Card Insertion: Locate the internal Compact Flash socket on the CE Logic Module board, align the keying grooves on the card edges, and press firmly until fully seated in the pin header.
- Enclosure Reassembly: Secure the logic module cover housing back into place before reapplying primary electrical power to ensure proper ground shielding and thermal dissipation.
