Allen Bradley 2711-TC1X

Allen Bradley 2711-TC1X is a communication card specifically designed for PanelView standard terminals (such as the 2711-B series and 2711-T series). Previously, these old screens could only communicate with the old PLC-5 or SLC 500 through DH+ or DF1. However, after the factory upgrade to ControlLogix, these old screens could no longer be directly connected. At this point, by inserting this 2711-TC1X module, the old screens can immediately connect to the new PLC via Ethernet, without having to discard and replace the entire screen. If you have any purchase requirements, you can contact Hanyite Automation Technology. Currently, we have this product in stock and guarantee to provide original products, helping you save the cost of equipment upgrade.

Core function

The core function of the Allen Bradley 2711-TC1X is "translation", enabling the old screens to support Ethernet. It can convert the data in the ControlLogix PLC into a format that the old PanelView terminals can understand. As a result, you don't need to rewrite the program for those old screens. You can directly read the data from the new PLC through the network cable or issue commands to control the equipment, which is equivalent to replacing the old equipment with a new brain.

Ease of use

xIt is extremely convenient to use. You don't need to open the case and fiddle with the complex dip switches as before. It has a USB port on the front. You simply connect your computer, use the free configuration software, enter the IP address and the name of the PLC you want to connect, and it's done. Moreover, this card is directly inserted into the slot behind the screen, without the need to pull messy wires. Once it's plugged in, it can be used immediately, just like expanding the memory of a mobile phone.

Compatibility and Integration

The Allen Bradley 2711-TC1X performs exceptionally well in "connecting the upper and lower parts". It can perfectly adapt to those classic PanelView standard screens below, and seamlessly integrate with ControlLogix and CompactLogix modern control systems above. Because it works well with the RSLogix 5000 software, when you are working on a project, you can simply call the labels in the program, without having to painstakingly perform complex address mapping. The new and old devices can be combined together smoothly, just like they are native.
