FAQ

Q: Is the 2711P-RP2A compatible with PanelView Plus 6 terminals?
A: No. This logic module is designed for legacy PanelView Plus 700–1500 terminals and is not compatible with PanelView Plus 6 models.

Q: What is the function of the logic module?
A: The logic module hosts the CPU, memory, communication ports, and power input. It connects to the display module to form a complete operator terminal.

Q: Can the CompactFlash card be hot-swapped?
A: No. Install or remove CompactFlash cards and display modules only when power is disconnected to prevent electrical damage.

Installation Guide

• Mount the logic module at the rear of the display module
• Ensure all power is removed before connecting or disconnecting modules
• Connect 85–264 VAC power to the input terminal block
• Attach RS-232 or Ethernet cables for controller communication
• Insert a formatted CompactFlash card if expanded storage is required
• Secure mounting clips to fasten the terminal assembly to the panel

Selection Tips

• Verify your terminal size (700, 1000, 1250, or 1500) before ordering
• Confirm AC power availability; for DC applications, select the 2711P-RP2D module
• For conformal-coated requirements, consider the 2711P-RP2K variant
• Ensure existing display module compatibility before replacement
