This unit has an internal memory of 512 MB RAM. The approximate shipping weight and dimensions are 13 lbs. and 20 x 14 x 8 in.

This operator terminal comes with an EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) that is an open industrial network that supports real time I/O messaging, as well as message exchange. The Ethernet port connects to a controller on an EtherNet/IP network by using both the network and standard Ethernet connections. This port can work with application transfers and printing as well. The EtherNet/IP screen displays and allows the user to modify some of the EtherNet/IP communication settings for a PanelView terminal. The 2711P-RN20 Ethernet communication module is available for the 700 to 1500 terminals if another Ethernet port is required. The module has its own unique IP address.
