Product Description: Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN10C

The Allen-Bradley 2711P-RN10C is a communication expansion module designed for use with PanelView Plus terminals. It enables communication with legacy networks, specifically Data Highway Plus (DH+) and Remote I/O (RIO). This module is ideal for industrial environments where legacy PLC systems must be integrated with modern HMI terminals. It installs directly into the logic module of the PanelView Plus and provides seamless connectivity to DH+/RIO networks.
